24th Annual Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life

Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life

The Twenty-fourth Annual Cardinal O'Connor Conference!

Georgetown University

<h3><em>The largest collegiate pro-life conference in the nation.</em></h3><p>Each year, the Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life strives to promote intellectually rigorous discourse on the sanctity of human life as well as build a culture of life both within and beyond the Georgetown community. Georgetown students founded the Conference in 2000 and remain both the organizers and facilitators. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the Conference is named in the honor of His Eminence John Cardinal O’Connor, who principally committed himself to advocate for the defenseless and eloquently defend pro-life positions. </p><h3>Theme: &quot;Next Steps: Humanizing our Political System &quot;</h3><p>This year has been characterized by great pro-life progress in our political system, which we, here at the Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life, celebrate and praise. Our 2023 Conference theme, Next Steps: Humanizing our Political System, looks forward to the new set of challenges for the pro-life movement. The reversal of Roe v. Wade is only the beginning as we aim to defend the dignity of life in the US federal system and throughout the world. The conference not only seeks to understand the state-by-state battle to protect human life, but also the empathy needed to see others not just as their political identity but as human beings deserving of love and of family. Please join us on January 21, 2023 to humanize our political system and to rejoice in the advancement of a culture of life.</p><h3>Speakers:</h3><p>Keynote: Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life</p><p>Panelist: Catherine Glenn Foster, President &amp; CEO of Americans United for Life</p><p>Panelist: Monica Sparks, President of Democrats for Life of America</p><p>Panelist: Katrina Jackson, Louisiana State Senator</p><p>Panelist: Kathleen Domingo, Executive Director of the California Catholic Conference</p><p>More information about this year&#x27;s speakers can be found on our <a href="https://www.oconnorconference.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">website.</a></p><h3>Schedule:</h3><p>8:00 - 9:30 Check-In &amp; Sponsorship Exhibits</p><p>9:30 - 11:00   Keynote Address </p><p>11:00 - 11:10  Fr.
