#51. Amplify the voices of unconventional pro-lifers.
People who aren't very involved in the abortion debate (so, most people) often have the misperception that Americans against abortion are primarily white Republican Christian men. This is a myth. It's important for the public to understand that pro-life activists come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Countless on-the-fencers already have pro-life inclinations, but they … Continue reading #51. Amplify the voices of unconventional pro-lifers.
#50. Post ads in newspapers for local pregnancy resource centers.
One major way to support pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) is to make sure your community knows where they are and what services they offer.

Post ads in newspapers for local pregnancy resource centers.
#49. Take pictures at pro-life events.
Organizers put an extraordinary amount of work into creating marches, rallies, and protests, but they often struggle to have enough people to document and promote these events. That's unfortunate because large pro-life events can demonstrate important information about our movement and our goals. There are usually a lot of clever, thoughtful, and moving signs. The … Continue reading #49. Take pictures at pro-life events.
#48. Go thrift shopping.
First, consider which organizations or people you would like to donate to. Contact them in advance to find out what kind of donations they accept and whether there are particular items they need.

#47. Create a “Contact Our Reps” group.
There are many ways to advocate for change through legislation, but in the end these efforts usually require the cooperation of elected officials. So let your officials know what you think and want. Research suggests staffers take more notice of personalized content that required some effort (i.e. online petition signatures mean little to them, but … Continue reading #47. Create a “Contact Our Reps” group.

Podcasts can be a great way to convert otherwise mundane tasks into opportunities for education and inspiration.

Below is a list of a few … Continue reading #46. Subscribe to pro-life podcasts.
#45. Become a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) or guardian at litem (GAL) for foster children.
A CASA or GAL is a person appointed by a court to represent a child's best interest in cases of abuse or neglect. People of all kinds of backgrounds volunteer as CASAs and GALs.

#44. Advocate for trigger laws in your state.
A trigger law is a law that isn't currently enforceable, but certain changes in circumstance could "trigger" the law to go into effect. Some states have laws that will go into effect if Roe v. Wade is overturned or sufficiently weakened; in some cases these state laws ensure abortion access, but in most cases they … Continue reading #44. Advocate for trigger laws in your state.
#43. Study the pro-choice worldview.
The better we understand the other side, the more effective we will be at dialoguing with pro-choice people, rebutting pro-choice claims, and overcoming pro-choice tactics. This process requires recognizing not only what they say but why they say it. What are their priorities? What are their fundamental beliefs? What verbiage do they use most often, … Continue reading #43. Study the pro-choice worldview.
