Sidewalk Chalk
Just a note: I was unable, as it turns out, to participate in this event due to housing rules in the area where I live. I'd encourage those who are able to do something, though: DO!
Today is an important day to me. Granted, yesterday morning I thought today would just be a typical school day interrupted by an orthodontist appointment and ended with the usual reading and getting-ready-to-write-a-book notes.
But then last night I discovered that today is an important day to the cause that is closest to my heart. We all have a cause we support - a wrong in the world we fight to right, a campaign or mission that we support and are a part of. My personal cause is ending the murder of innocent children before their first breath - in other words, stopping abortion.
And today is National Pro-Life Chalk Day. So today I'll pull out that tub of chalk that's been gathering dust since Bella moved and try to make a difference in the world.
With a handful of chalk and an arsenal of pro-life slogans, you can leave a lasting impression on hundreds or even thousands of people.
Step 1: Pick up sidewalk chalk (Walmart, drug stores, young siblings)
Step 2: Collect your pro-life friends (this is optional, but helpful)
Step 3: Find a heavily trafficked public area
Step 4: Chalk short pro-life messages in large letters everywhere

Emily,
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard about this event before, but think it sounds awesome. Too bad you couldn't participate.
Hey Laura! It's actually very new. Students for Life co-sponsers it, and I follow their Facebook page, so that's how I found out. I think it's only a year or two old. Since I'll have my license by this time next year, I hope I'll be able to drive myself OFF base and chalk up a few public sidewalks. ;)
