Reserve your room today at the POD D.C. Hotel. Call 202-847-4444 and request the MCFL Group Rate. Reservation deadline: Friday, January 10.

This year, MCFL is sponsoring three buses to D.C. If you can only take the day of the March itself, our bus from Boston leaving Thursday night is perfect, and returns Friday night. If you want to take advantage of the huge array of annual pro-life conventions, meetings, and action, then the bus leaving Wednesday is for you (and so is the exclusive group rate with our hotel partner Modus/POD Hotels).

PLEASE NOTE: You are responsible for making your own hotel accommodations. MCFL has room blocks at a discounted rate for anyone who makes a reservation using Bus Option 2. You can book through the hotel's unique portal at THIS SECURE LINK after you make your bus reservation. Hotel reservation deadline: Friday, January 10.

The hotel is located just a short distance from the Basilica of the Immaculate Shrine. Rooms are available for $139 per night per room. 

We also have a bus leaving from western Massachusetts Thursday night. 

See all details below.

Our limited edition MCFL "Pro-Life Strong" scarf is free to every individual reserving their seat or hotel room now...so don't wait. Seats go fast, but our scarves go faster.
