CLC Youth is the youth division of Campaign Life Coalition, Canada's largest pro-life and pro-family organization. CLCY is a network created to help young people get involved in the pro-life movement through street activism and political participation. Our goal is to educate the public on life issues and to elect a government that will implement laws which give human rights to all human beings.
Young people have a special role to play in transforming the culture of death into a culture of life. Politicians pay special attention to the voices of young people. Our fellow youth, often lacking financial resources, are particularly vulnerable to abortion and need support from friends and classmates if faced with a crisis pregnancy. Finally, our own generation are the leaders of tomorrow. The changes to the hearts and minds of our peers that we make today will largely determine whether we are able to end abortion in our lifetimes.
By joining CLC Youth, you will receive action alerts that keep you updated on pro-life events in your area and exciting opportunities to get involved with your local pro-life candidate.
We are pro-life. We recognize that human rights belong to all humans. We demand equality for those who need it most.

Take Action
WHY WE NEED TO ACT
Canada is the only western democracy that has no restrictions on abortion. Abortion is fully funded by taxpayers, and is now being exported to developing countries. Some of Canada’s biggest political parties have disallowed pro-lifers from running as candidates altogether.
Euthanasia is legal, and it is likely that it will be extended to teenagers and the mentally ill in the near future. Even the conscience rights of doctors who do not want to kill their patients is up for debate. There are few, if any, countries that have embraced the culture of death to the extent that Canada has.
This is why we need to act. We who embrace life, we who believe that all human beings have an inherent, equal, and unconditional right to life, need to get our message out to our communities and to our politicians in order to make an impact on Canada’s political and social landscape. It is only through actively voicing and sharing our views that we can hope to educate our communities, change the hearts and minds of those around us, and build a culture of life in Canada. The impact that us pro-life youth can have on changing our country is immeasurable, if only we are committed enough to our cause.

GET POLITICAL
In Canada, we have a parliamentary system consisting of three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. The executive branch, which implements and enforces the law, is made up of the Monarch; her representative in Canada, the Governor General; the Prime Minister; and the Cabinet, which is comprised of a number of Ministers responsible for different portfolios, such as Foreign Affairs, Health, International Development, etc.
ADOPT YOUR MP TODAY. Let's face it. Without your vote, your MP or MPP is powerless. Voting once every four years however, just isn't going to cut it. By going directly to your MP or MPP, you can ensure your voice is heard year-round. And get this, you have an advantage that the majority of your riding does not have: your age. Find out how to influence them for the better.
SUPPORT PRO-LIFE CANDIDATES DURING NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS. In Canada, we are privileged to live in a democracy. We have the ability to elect our federal, provincial and municipal representatives that create laws in society's best interest. To stop the murder of thousands of preborn children a year, it's paramount that Canada recognizes the right to life of the preborn by law. We need to nominate and elect pro-life politicians who will vote pro-life and bring forward pro-life bills.
Bring in a clcy speaker to your class or youth group
A very effective way to change hearts and minds is to present our pro-life stance through facts, logic and comparison. CLCY has a group of young, articulate, and trained public speakers to travel across the country to connect with young people interested in educating themselves on the pro-life issue and getting more involved. We offer a variety of talks that introduce the pro-life issue to youth in classroom or youth group settings. We've witnessed hundreds of youth go from pro-abortion to pro-life because of these presentations.
Among the most popular is Pro-Life 101, a logical, scientific and ethical approach to abortion by examining when human life begins, what abortion is, who should have rights, and the effects of abortion on women and children.

Defund Abortion Campaign
Did you know that at least $50 million a year of our hard-earned tax-dollars is spent on abortions in Ontario? CLC Youth holds the position that government-funded abortions are a blatant abuse of tax dollars, are severely unjust, and that these funds can and MUST be directed away from the killing of our preborn children. This is an issue that should be held close to the hearts of young people in particular. We did not have a choice to stand-up against the Morgentaler decision, but we DO have a choice now. Let’s use it.
