I’m thrilled to announce our newest project:
Building Bridges: Full Day Intensive
An In-Person Training from Secular Pro-Life
Join SPL for a one-of-a-kind, full-day training giving you the tools and the confidence to have useful conversations about abortion—especially in environments where the pro-choice view is considered the default.
🗓️ June 26, 2025, 8:30a-3p
📍 Washington DC
💵 $10 for adults / $5 for students — lunch included
Your encouragement and enthusiasm inspired this event. Monica has been presenting Building Bridges for almost two years, and the feedback we’ve gotten has been amazing.
“This talk takes some fear away from confrontation and being vulnerable.”
“Enjoyed hearing fresh perspectives; enjoyed learning new tools.”
“Honestly the whole presentation was awesome! Please keep speaking.”
“Would love an even longer presentation.”
We are happy to oblige. What began as a 60-minute lecture is now a full-day immersive workshop, including comprehensive presentations from Monica and myself, extensive Q&As, and interactive role-play modules.
Why This Workshop Matters
Our society often treats abortion as either too polarizing to discuss, or a settled issue. It’s neither. If you’re the kind of pro-lifer who wants to start less fights and more conversations, this training is for you.
Secular Pro-Life offers a unique approach to abortion dialogue, grounded in nonsectarian, nonpartisan principles and shaped by years of firsthand experience in majority pro-choice communities. This full-day experience focuses on building connections with demographics the broader pro-life movement struggles to engage—including both pro-choice moderates and non-traditional pro-lifers.
Whether you’re a newcomer or a longtime advocate, Building Bridges: Full Day Intensive will help you:
- Move beyond echo chambers and connect with those who disagree
- Learn techniques that foster productive, respectful conversations
- Practice real-life dialogue scenarios in a supportive environment
- Gain confidence to speak clearly and compassionately about prenatal life
Who Should Attend
This workshop is ideal for:
- New pro-lifers ready to step off the sidelines
- Seasoned advocates looking to sharpen their strategy
- Dissenting pro-life voices in majority pro-choice communities
- Anyone curious about having more respectful and useful conversations
What You’ll Get
- A full day of interactive, hands-on training
- Role-play and group practice with feedback
- A secular, evidence-based approach to persuasive dialogue
- Lunch and time to connect with fellow advocates
