The March also wants to show the proposal of a new culture of care in which every life is respected instead of a society that promotes the discarding or elimination of the most vulnerable.

The march will begin at 12:00 noon in Serrano Street (corner of C/ Goya) to Cibeles and Paseo de Recoletos. At this point will be located the stage from which testimonies will be shared, the reading of the manifesto of the Platform will take place. Yes to Life. Afterwards, a minute of silence will be observed in memory of the unborn and all the victims of the culture of death, along with the release of balloons, which is a tradition in these marches. The event will end with a small concert to celebrate the Day of Life.
