About Life Chain
The first Life Chain was held in 1987. The Alexandria Life Chain began in 1996. In 2018, Life Chains were conducted in 1,532 towns and cities across the United States and Canada, involving over one million people. Life Chains consist of Christians quietly, prayerfully lining both sides of major automobile thoroughfares for 60 minutes carrying signs that carry one of the following messages:
-
- Abortion Kills Children – El Aborto Mata Niños
- Abortion Hurts Women
- Adoption: the Loving Option
- Lord, Forgive Us and Our Nation
- Jesus Forgives and Heals
The simple truth of these messages reproduced by hundreds standing 10 feet apart along Franconia Road is very effective. Life Chains are safe, legal and non-confrontational. We coordinate each event with the Fairfax County Police who have assured us of their support. We ask most adults and youth to spend the hour standing in silent or group prayer. Small children, senior citizens and handicapped persons are welcome to sit (bring your own folding chair).
