Stand True Announces Third Annual Students' Day of Silent Solidarity Against Abortion
Students at Hundreds of Campuses Nationwide Lose Their Voices on Oct. 24 

FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Oct. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- Stand True Ministries is gearing up for the third annual Students' Day of Silent Solidarity on Tuesday, October 24. On this date, students from over 1,000 campuses in the United States, Canada and several other countries 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.

“This year’s response to this event has been astounding,” said Kemper. The event is a three weeks away and we have commitments to participate from students and groups at over 700 campuses throughout North America.

“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 24. There is no cost to participate. Flyers are available as PDF’s to download at www.silentday.org  or www.standtrue.com .
