Although the delegation from Ulster County was the largest of the groups coming from areas served by the Archdiocese of New York, UDRLC members encountered participants from St. Joseph's Church (Yonkers), Advocates for Life (Westchester County), and parishes in Putnam County. In addition to the march itself, which traversed the Empire State Plaza from the Children's Memorial to the grounds of the State Capitol, a rally was held once the marchers reached the end site designated by the organizers of the event. www.marchforlifeny.org
