According to the National March for Life website,
“The Friends of Club 21 Choir is a dynamic and inspiring vocal ensemble composed of individuals with Down syndrome and their supporters. As a program of Friends of Club 21, a Colorado-based nonprofit, the choir exists to celebrate and showcase the unique beauty and talent within each participant through the power of music.”

What is the National March for Life in Washington, D.C.?
The National March for Life website states,
“The March for Life is an inspiring, peaceful, vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and children from all across the country – and it’s the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world.
Every January, tens of thousands of pro-lifers converge in Washington, D.C. and march on Capitol Hill to remember the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which legalized abortion in all 50 states.
And while the Dobbs decision rightly returned the decision to the American people, our work to protect life continues at the state and federal levels. But the March for Life is not just a protest… it is a celebration of each and every life, from the moment of conception. We envision a world where every life is celebrated, valued, and protected.”
