Never Silence Life Silent Protest
Never Silence Life is a silent protest that takes place on the anniversery of the Wade vs. Roe case that legalized abortion. We are taking a stand against abortion, on behalf of all those who have been silenced forever. Let's raise awareness and take a stand! This protest involves nothing by a group of people with red tape across their mouth with the word "LIFE" written acrossed it. House of Hope is excited to host this protest this year in Kalamazoo, Mi. This event is open to all who want ot be involved, any age!
Before we meet to stand outside the Kalamazoo court house we will be holding a prayer time to lift up this issue to the Lord.
