FROM "PRIESTS FOR LIFE" NEWSLETTER

Silent No More Awareness Campaign

Since 2003, the Silent No More Awareness Campaign has enabled thousands of women and men wounded by abortion to testify publicly to the harm abortion does and to the healing mercy of Jesus Christ. These testimonies have been shared at over 160 gatherings that have occurred in 44 states and 5 countries with more than 12,030 spectators having heard the truth about abortion's negative effects. The Campaign has spread internationally as well.

Besides the gatherings on public streets and plazas, the women and men of the campaign are silent no more in various ways. They write up their testimony and share it on the internet and in letters to various publications. They appear on television and radio shows, and are invited to speak in the pulpits of Churches. They speak before legislative assemblies and in private meetings with politicians.

The testimonies of these courageous men and women are posted at www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org. You can read, listen to, or watch videos of them.

You can help this campaign by a) inviting those you know who have lost children to abortion to visit www.SilentNoMoreAwareness.org; b) urging pastors to contact the campaign to have individuals share their testimony in Church; c) urging lobbyists to contact the campaign to have individuals share their testimony with legislators; d) being present at local gatherings as a prayer support; and e) assisting in organizing local gatherings in your community.

Here are some photos from this year's gathering in Washington, DC.

The Campaign is for men too. Jonathan Flora, a Hollywood Producer, shares his testimony.
