The Texas Alliance for Life Annual Benefit Dinner, held Saturday, October 2 in Austin, was an enormous success. Our attendee numbers were almost back to pre-COVID levels, and it was such a joy to gather together to celebrate life. Our speaker line-up brought a range of pro-life messaging encompassing topics such as gains made in Texas over the 87th legislative session, the importance of continuing to vote for pro-life leaders in our state, and some personal stories about adoption, sidewalk advocacy, prayer campaigns, and more.
