Pittsburgh Pro-Life March

Pittsburgh, PA | April 18, 2026

Celebrating Life in our City

10:00 a.m. Pre-Rally Music and Pro-Life Tables | 11:00 a.m. Rally | 12:00 p.m. March

The First Pittsburgh Pro-Life March is a joyful, prayerful, and hope-filled gathering of pro-lifers from across our city and region. For the first time, we are coming together publicly to unite the Pittsburgh pro-life community, strengthen one another, and boldly proclaim that the culture of life is alive here.

As we launch this inaugural march, we want to show our city that Pittsburgh is proudly pro-life—and that we stand for the protection and dignity of every human life. Our presence serves as a counter-witness to the pro-abortion initiatives in our community, including Planned Parenthood, local abortion vendors, and the University of Pittsburgh’s unethical fetal experimentation.

We intentionally chose to march through the heart of Oakland for this historic first year. By walking through the university area, we hope to plant seeds in the hearts of students and the broader community, showing them that compassion, truth, and the defense of life have a strong and joyful presence in Pittsburgh. We pray that the Lord uses this first march and rally to convert hearts, transform minds, and bring renewal to our city.

But the First Pittsburgh Pro-Life March is more than a demonstration. It is a celebration of life—every life, at every stage. We envision a Pittsburgh where every human being is cherished, protected, and welcomed.
