FAQS

The March for Life will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 14th in front of the Patriarch House (next to Planned Parenthood) in Rogers, 1230 W. Poplar. Pro-Lifers will peacefully and joyfully walk to the Metroplex Event Center in Rogers, 2305 S. 8th St. where we have our March for Life Rally.

               We have a few locations: St Vincent de Paul church – corner of Poplar St and 13th St

              Empty lot ACROSS from the Friendly Book Store, 1114 W. Poplar St.

               “Join-in” Points at Southgate Mall & Sunbelt Rentals (See below for location details)

               Some limited street parking

• How long is the walk?

               2.7 miles

• Can I do just part of the walk?  

   Yes!  If 2.7 miles seems a bit long for you, we have two “Join In” Points:

1. Southgate Mall, 1600 S. 8th St. – Parking and Water Bottles Available for all walkers

2. Sunbelt Rentals, 2100 S. 8th St. – Parking and Water Bottles Available for all walkers

• Can I go to just the Rally – What time is the Rally?

  Yes!  But the March is a beautiful public witness!   Depending on the number of people that attend the March for Life, the Rally will begin at 3:00ish.

• Is there a Cost?

     No, no cost!   However, the NWA March for Life is our biggest expenditure for the year.   Any help is most appreciated! We are a 501(c)3 and gifts can also be made on our donations page or scan this QR code below. We are grateful for your generosity!

• Do you have signs? Where do I get them? Where do I return them after the March?

Yes! NWA Respect Life has a limited number of signs that you can use for the walk. They will be available in the driveway of the Patriarch House before the March. They tend to go fast, so consider arriving a few minutes early to secure one. We will have a pick-up truck outside the Metroplex Center for SIGN RETURN. You are also welcome to bring Church and/or School Banners.

• Can we make our own signs?  

       Sure! Signs should be a source of encouragement and Support Life! Examples include but not limited to:

Pray to End Abortion                      Love Life!  Choose Life!                 Love them Both   

    Choose Life!         We speak for those who cannot!      Truth always wins!       

Adoption the Loving Option        Unborn Lives Matter                      Unapologetically Pro-Life!

Peace Begins in the Womb           I am the Post-Roe Generation    I am the Pro-Life Generation

Women Deserve Better than Abortion      

Pictures of an unborn baby are GREAT!  We have several signs with pictures of 6-7 week pre-born babies that we obtained from a middle school biology book. PLEASE NO GRAPHIC SIGNS, NO REFERENCES WITH CONDEMNATION, JUDGEMENT, ETC.  NO SIGNS MOCKING GOVERNMENT OR CHURCH LEADERS.

• Is the March for Life safe?

We are BLESSED to have Deputy Officer Reggie Washington heading up security.  Officer Washington is with Benton County and has a decorated career portfolio which includes serving overseas, security work and special task forces with the police department.   Officer Washington will bring fellow officers.  Several other men from local churches have also volunteered to help if needed.

            Officer Washington and his team will also coordinate their efforts with the Rogers Police Department who provided EXCELLENT service last year. The Rogers PD offered a police escort so pro-lifers could get through intersections and cross streets safely.

            We also have a driver slowly following the March. He is available to pick-up any marchers unable to complete the walk.

• What time is everything over?

The length of the March and Rally are dependent on the number of people who show up and how long it takes them to walk. We are estimating walkers will arrive at the Metroplex Center around 3:00 PM and the Rally will be over by 4:00 PM.

• How do we get back to Starting Point?

        If you prefer not to walk back to your starting point, there is the option of a friend parking their car at the Metroplex Center and you park your car at your starting point. If your school or church has bus availability, they are welcome to park at the Metroplex Center and bring folks back. BE SURE TO CONTACT SHEILA @ 469-231-1959 if you elect this option.

• What if there is “bad” weather? Rain, wind or shine – we will have the NWA March for Life.    Dress appropriately!   “No such thing as bad weather – just bad gear.” Pro-lifers are not weenies!

• NWA March for Life will ONLY be cancelled if:

1.      Severe lightening

2.      The Second Coming (could be related to 1.)
