Students at Over 1,000 Campuses to Participate in Tuesday's Students Day of Silent Solidarity
Event Spreads to Campuses in Canada, England, Germany and the Philippines

FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Oct. 24 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Stand True Ministries is gearing up for the second annual Students' Day of Silent Solidarity (www.silentday.org) on Tuesday, October 25. On this date, students from over 1,000 campuses in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, England and Germany will take a vow of silence to express their contempt for the murderous act of abortion that has claimed one-third of their generation and continues to take the lives of over 4,000 babies per day in the United States alone.

"Thousands of American babies are permanently silenced every day by the violent act of abortion," said Bryan Kemper, president of Stand True Ministries. "This day is in honor of those children, and we will stay silent as an act of solidarity with these innocent victims."

Students will not only remain silent, but will also wear red armbands and or red duct tape on their mouths and distribute educational flyers to anyone who asks why they are silent. Many home-schooled students will also participate in the event by visiting local malls and other public areas to distribute flyers. Now individuals and even private companies are getting involved and committing to the day of silence.

"This year's response to this event has been astounding," said Kemper. We now have commitments from students at over 1000 campuses and 5 countries and more are joining by the hour. “I am honored to be part of an event that has brought out so many young people who are willing to stand up for the truth in such a courageous and impacting way.”

"These students are excited to have a united opportunity to stand up for the babies with fellow students from around the country in a peaceful and effective manner," said Kemper. "We have received many e-mails from students thanking us for giving them this opportunity, and telling us how excited they are to promote the event."

The Students' Day of Silent Solidarity is Tuesday, October 25. There is no cost to participate. Flyers are available as PDFs to download at www.silentday.org or www.standtrue.com.
