LAFAYETTE, La, July 10 /Christian Newswire/ -- For the 12th summer in a row, college students from around America are walking from the west coast to Washington, D.C.  They are part of an organization called Crossroads and they are walking to promote the dignity of all human life.

“We have learned that a silent majority of Americans are very supportive of our message that human life at all stages should be welcomed and protected,” said Brendan Flannery, of Steubenville, Ohio.

Crossroads, a national organization of college students from around the country, has sponsored walks across America for each of the last 12 summers to witness to the dignity and sanctity of all human life.  This summer, there are three walks, originating in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, each concluding August 12 at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. 

“Over the past 12 summers, Crossroads has spoken to millions of people at churches alone with the message that each human life is to be protected at every stage,” said Crossroads National Director Martha Nolan.

Combined, the three walks will cover over 9,500 miles, walk through 31 states, and encounter hundreds of thousands of Americans speaking at churches alone. 

“Although our nation is divided along cultural and moral lines, we have found that most of the people we’ve encountered are very eager to hear our message, which is essentially a message of hope.”
