March for Life | Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life

The 2026 MCCL March for Life will take place on Thursday, January 22, at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul. The March begins at noon and is followed by a program from 12:30-1:00 on the Capitol steps.

Pre-registration:

You're invited to kick off a pivotal year for Life alongside thousands of other pro-lifers at the 2026 MCCL March for Life. As Minnesota’s biggest pro-life event of the year, the March is a unique opportunity to commemorate lives lost, expose Minnesota’s extreme abortion policies, call for change—and generate pro-life momentum heading into the legislative session, February’s precinct caucuses, and the fall elections.

The March begins at noon on Thursday, January 22, on the grounds of the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul. It will be followed from 12:30 to 1:00 by a program on the Capitol steps featuring speakers, music, and more.

January 22 marks the anniversary of the 1973 legalization of abortion, and the MCCL March for Life has been held every year since then. This year’s event comes in the wake of extreme new pro-abortion policies and rising abortions—and just ahead of a pivotal election that will determine control of state government.

Will you help this event make a lasting impact in our state?

Please make plans now to attend, and to bring others with you. We encourage you to pre-register (either as an individual or as a school bringing students). Pre-registration is not required (all are welcome!), but it helps MCCL as we plan. Every student (from middle school through college) who pre-registers is guaranteed to receive a newly designed pro-life beanie hat at the event!

Help promote the March in your church, community, family, or social media circles. Promotional materials are available to download. Contact MCCL for sample bulletin announcements.

Encourage your church or MCCL chapter to arrange for a bus to transport people to the March. MCCL can help with subsidizing the cost if needed.

Directions and parking information are available online. Buses may park along Martin Luther King Blvd. Pro-life signs will be provided, but you are also free to bring your own. In case of severe weather, check this website or contact MCCL at 612-825-6831 to see if there is a change of plans.

We’ll see you on January 22!
