Every year, hundreds of babies are born alive during failed abortions in Australia, only to be denied basic medical care and left to die. Despite being perfectly formed, these fragile infants are tragically forgotten and abandoned without the dignity and protection all children deserve.

Knit, Crochet or Buy Baby Booties to Help Us Create a Powerful National Visual Protest

This year, make a bold stand for life by participating in the Baby Booties Campaign. Whether you knit tiny booties yourself or purchase them, each one represents a precious life lost and becomes a powerful symbol honouring their humanity.

You can POST BOOTIES NOW to Australian Christian Lobby, GPO Box 1424, Canberra, ACT 2601.

This August, Join a Nationwide Visual Protest for Innocent Lives Lost

On Wednesday 14 August in Canberra, we will blanket Parliament House lawns with thousands of baby booties in a striking visual memorial. This powerful display will provide an undeniable voice for the most vulnerable and demand equal rights and justice for these innocent lives.

Knit or crochet booties with love as a tribute to the forgotten, or order booties to be created in their honour. Every pair of booties you contribute will join the masses in Canberra, making a statement that cannot be ignored.

Let every stitch be a loving testament to the sanctity of life at its earliest stages. Join Senator Matt Canavan, Professor Joanna Howe, ACL CEO Michelle Pearse and other compassionate advocates from around the nation to promote human rights for all newborns, regardless of circumstances.

To nominate yourself for contributing booties to this powerful visual display that will reverberate throughout the nation – please fill out the form below.
