Virginia Pro-Life Bootcamp, Future Dates TBD
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform - Virginia office has held three Virginia Pro-Life Bootcamps in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Since then, we've hired an additional project director, and begun additional projects in our region. We're still conducting the Genocide Awareness Project and Choice Chains at Virginia universities, as time permits, in addition to supporting the African American History Museum Project in Washington, D.C. You can stay abreast of latest happenings on our Facebook page - Center for Bio-Ethical Reform - Virginia, or on the CBR Southeast Facebook page or website. Contact me if you'd like to get involved in pro-life activism in Virginia - I'd be happy to get you connected!
- 2013 Virginia Pro-Life Bootcamp Endorsement - Chris (VA Tech)
"It has been an incredible experience...I learned more about the pro-life community as a whole...After you see a picture of abortion and know what it looks like, it really drives you to abolish it. That's why I'm here." Virginia Tech's Advocates for Life hosted the Genocide Awareness Project the following semester. Here's a letter to their campus newspaper about that event.
- 2013 Virginia Pro-Life Bootcamp Endorsement - Beth (Liberty)
"I've learned better how to defend our beliefs and how to promote our group and spread awareness. I'm very excited to get back to campus and put into practice everything I've learned." Beth, and her fellow pro-life students at Liberty, showed abortion victim imagery to their campus the following semester. We are thrilled to have Beth join us at Bootcamp this year as a speaker, sharing her compelling personal story in more depth.
