“The Pro-Life Generation wants their voices heard this election cycle,” said Dustin Curtis, SFLAction Executive Director. “We are using every day leading up to the election to educate voters on pro-life champions and legislators that have appeased the abortion lobby, leaving the preborn to fend for themselves. Our students and staff are energized across the nation to see life protected in law and service so they can implement real change in a Post-Roe America.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (11-02-2022) – This weekend, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) will be back on the ground hosting activism trips in 11 cities in its final push before the general elections. Pro-life grassroots activists are signing up to volunteer at a higher rate than SFLAction has seen before with more than 512 student activists recruited. This effort of volunteers to expose pro-abortion politicians and highlight pro-life champions will surmount to knocking on twice as many doors in key districts than in the fall of the 2020 Presidential races.
SFLAction will educate more than 250,000 voters at the doors this election cycle in 33 cities on candidates who pledged to protect life in law and those with policies that are #TooExtreme4Me and the majority of Americans who reject radical abortion laws.
In addition, SFLAction will reach another 7 million voters through our cutting-edge “Vote Pro-Life First” digital campaign, personal peer-to-peer text messages, and phone calls. This campaign has seen more than 111,000 Gen Z and Millennial voters change their minds and pledge to #VoteProLifeFirst.
From November 5-9, 2022, SFLAction groups will be mobilized in:
-
Arizona: In Mesa and Scottsdale, SFLAction will be targeting the swing districts of State Senate District 9 and State Senate District 4. SFLAction will expose the abortion lobby’s handpicked candidates at the state with the hope to keep the pro-life majority in the Arizona statehouse, as well as exposing the abortion extremist record of U.S. Senator Mark Kelly.
-
Montana: SFLAction Captain, Kaitlyn Ruch, won her primary in the 8th House District at just 18 years old. SFLAction Montana PAC endorsed Ruch and will continue supporting her throughout the general election as well as James Brown, the pro-life candidate running in the crucial race for Montana Supreme Court.
-
Nebraska: SFLAction will engage in Senate District 18 to expose candidates and incumbents who wish to block pro-life legislation from ending the 2,020 abortions committed annually in Nebraska.
-
North Carolina: SFLAction will engage in open seat races in House District 25. We will also highlight the pro-abortion extremist positions of federal candidates Wiley Nickel and Cheri Beasley.
-
Minnesota: SFLAction will be focused in the Saint Paul area targeting the swing districts of House District 55A and 47B, exposing the pro-abortion leaders controlling the House chamber in Minnesota.

Iowa: SFLAction is engaging in three State House Districts including two races where incumbents voted against our Chemical Abortion Ban, introduced by pro-life champion Rep. Jeff Shipley. We will also knock doors to expose Congresswoman Cindy Axe’s record of supporting taxpayer funding of abortion and allowing the abortion of viable babies who can live outside the womb.
-
Colorado: SFLAction is canvassing in House District 27 to expose pro-abortion legislators to the overwhelming majority of voters who oppose late-term abortion. CLICK HERE to learn about the candidate left off SFLAction’s literature, Joe O’Dea.
-
Pennsylvania: In New Castle and Scranton, SFLAction will continue to expose incumbents who voted incorrectly on a budget amendment that would have stripped the University of Pittsburgh from receiving state funding until they ended their barbaric practice of fetal research on aborted babies. Students will also canvass to expose the pro-abortion records of U.S. Senate candidate Lt. Governor John Fetterman and Congressman Matt Cartright.
-
Indiana: SFLAction will be re-engaging in the state race in House District 25.
-
Washington: SFLAction will engage in District 38 races in the House and Senate to expose the abortion records of incumbents Mary Fosse & June Robinson, as well as that of U.S. Senator Patty Murray.

Students for Life Action (SFLAction), a 501c4, along with its 501c3 sister organization, Students for Life of America (SFLA), make up the nation’s largest pro-life youth organization and a political and policy operation engaging people of all ages.

Headquartered in Fredericksburg, VA, SFLA has more than 1,300 groups on middle, high school, college, university, medical, and law school campuses in all 50 states. SFLA creates strategy, policy, and programming to connect those most targeted for abortion with people ready to help and builds a framework for political engagement on their behalf. SFLA and SFLAction have more conversations with those most targeted by the abortion industry than any other pro-life outreach in the world, reaching more than 2 million people across social media platforms each week and engaging in approximately 100,000 digital conversations per month. Over more than 16 years, President Kristan Hawkins has grown SFLAction/SFLA into an $18 million organization preparing for a Post-Roe America.
