26th ANNUAL YOUTH RALLY FOR LIFE

Held on Monday, January 22, 2007, at Noon, on the S.W. Quadrant of Cleveland Public Square.  Youth from the greater Cleveland area are invited to voice their concerns on broad-spectrum pro-life issues at the rally.  Rally coordinators expect to draw students from high schools, colleges and pro-life groups to address such subjects as abortion, euthanasia, infanticide, the death penalty, war/peace and any other issue that affects the value and existence of human life.  Talks must be under 5 minutes long.  Presentations should reflect the philosophy that life is a continuum from conception until natural death and must therefore be enhanced, protected and loved by every member of the human community.  Anyone wanting more information about the Rally, or an application to speak at the rally, is advised to call Virginia Hanley at 216-226-6663 or visit our website at www.rallyforlife.org.
