In a direct contrast to the Woman’s March last weekend, the March for Life organizers are asking that participants are respectful by not engaging counter-protesters nor littering.\

While walking, and riding the metro in D.C. please be respectful of residents and commuters.  Let’s show the Nation’s Capital how passionate and polite and respectful pro-lifers really are!  Please read these 6 tips for riding the metro.

Do not leave trash or signs on the grounds of the National Mall, Supreme Court, or Capitol.  This is our Nation’s Capital and we should treat it with dignity and respect. If trash bins are full, please carry your trash or sign with you until you find an available trash bin.

Do not engage with counter-protesters.  Once again, please be respectful of all people and stay focused on the cause of promoting and celebrating life, lovingly, prayerfully, and graciously.
