||
| WHEREAS, March for Life has demonstrated outstanding public | ||
| spirit through its dedication to the advancement of the pro-life | ||
| movement; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On January 22, 1974, the March for Life began as a | ||
| peaceful demonstration in response to the Roe v. Wade and Doe | ||
| v. Bolton decisions, and it has since grown into one of the largest | ||
| annual pro-life events in the world; each year, thousands of | ||
| civic-minded individuals gather to march on Capitol Hill, and many | ||
| more express their support through state marches and donations; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to its annual demonstrations, the | ||
| organization advocates year round through the March for Life Action | ||
| Activist Network; in 2020, this initiative connected more than | ||
| 200,000 activists with legislators at the local, state, and federal | ||
| level; it strives to make lobbying more accessible and ensure that | ||
| its members can exercise their civic responsibility; and | ||
| WHEREAS, March for Life has benefited from the able | ||
| leadership of its president, Jeanne F. Mancini, and the president | ||
| of March for Life Action, Tom McClusky; among its goals for 2021, | ||
| the organization plans to hold five state marches, expand its | ||
| activist network, and increase its outreach on social and | ||
| mainstream media; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For more than four and a half decades, the members of | ||
| March for Life have made a lasting difference through their | ||
| political activism, and they may indeed take great pride in their | ||
| contributions; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commend March for Life on its political | ||
| engagement and extend to its members sincere best wishes for the | ||
| future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
