An "upbeat" pro-life event this November at Dodger Stadium will bring together teen speakers, professional athletes, celebrities, musicians and religious leaders to encourage young people to "go to bat for life" and become outspoken pro-life advocates.
"Young people speaking to young people is what will make our event unique – along with a joyous tone that will convey the beauty, fun and normalcy of being pro-life!" Carol Golbranson, co-founder of LIFEsocal, said Sept. 14.
LIFEsocal, a group of Los Angeles-area high school and college students and their parents, organized the Nov. 18 event, called Go2bat4LIFE. The interfaith gathering has the support of Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez.
Golbranson said the event will send the message that "not only is it okay to be prolife, but it is fun, and it is cool as well."
