The 1.7 mile March for Life begins at Broadway and MLK Jr. Blvd and concludes at Pioneer Courthouse Square in Downtown Portland. Portland Police will provide an escort for the March on Broadway. Marchers will begin meeting at 12:00 pm at Broadway and MLK (next to Holy Rosary Parish). The actual march will start at 12:30 pm and will end around 1:30 at Pioneer Courthouse Square. The rally will start at 2:00pm. Last year there were an estimated 7000 people at the rally, Oregon’s largest ever pro-life gathering, and the hope is that there will be 10,000+ this year.
