• According to reports, the 51st annual March for Life demonstration is scheduled in Washington, DC on January 19 to denounce abortion.

1. Given precedent of previous annual March for Life demonstrations, the upcoming January 19 demonstration is anticipated to witness a turnout in the high thousands to low tens of thousands in Washington, DC. Given elevated sentiments over the issue and as also evidenced during the March for Life demonstration on January 20, 2023, counter-protests by pro-choice groups witnessing a turnout in the mid to high dozens remain likely in the vicinity of the demonstration on January 19.   
2. Separately, pro-choice protests on January 20 will likely witness varying turnouts in the low to high hundreds at each location. The highest turnout is anticipated in Washington, DC in the mid to high thousands, given precedent.  
3. Both pro-choice and pro-life protests are anticipated to transpire peacefully without instances of major unrest. However, the potential for localized scuffles between protestors and counter-protestors remains, especially during the annual March for Life. Hence, a bolstered security presence can be expected in the vicinity of the protest locations on January 19-20 and along the route of the march on January 19, to monitor proceedings.  
4. Additionally, significant disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular travel can be expected in the vicinity of the aforementioned protest locations during the slated hours on January 19-20.  

Those operating or residing in the aforementioned cities in the USA on January 19 and 20 are advised to allot for travel disruptions in the vicinity of the planned protests during the slated timings.
