Every year, the third Tuesday of October is Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. Students voluntarily give up their voices for the day as a symbolic gesture in support of the pro-life cause. At abortion clinics around the country, 3,000 voices are silenced every day. To commemorate this, many students will observe a vow of silence today. Red armbands and red duct tape across mouths represent the 3,000 lives forever taken by abortion. These silent mourners hope others will take a stand against abortion and vow to speak up for those who cannot.  

Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity On the third Tuesday of October every year, this year it falls on October 19th.

Bryan Kemper founded Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity in 2004. The group Students for Life promotes the day.
