On April 23rd, Students for Life announced that it is “launching a brand-new initiative: The National Pro-Life Neighborhood Chalk Day & Contest!” In an email sent to Live Action News, Students for Life noted that “there’s a fun new trend Americans are participating in while many are under ‘Shelter in Place’ orders… using the end of driveways and other publicly viewable areas to chalk messages for passersby!” On Friday, May 1st, 2020, individuals are invited to chalk a pro-life message on their sidewalk, driveway, etc., take a picture, upload it to Facebook and/or Instagram, and tag #StudentsforLife and #ProLifeChalkDay.
