Every year, we invite speakers to inform and inspire us as we stand up for the lives of unborn children and their families. Below is a short bio for the speakers we have lined up for 2026:

Jason Jones

Jason Jones is an award-winning film producer, author, humanitarian, and the President of the Human-Rights Education and Relief Organization (H.E.R.O.), which leads the Vulnerable People Project and Movie to Movement. Dedicated to defending human dignity, his mission is to stand between the violent and the vulnerable.

Jones made his mark in the film industry in 2006 as the Executive Producer of the film Bella, which received widespread acclaim and won several prestigious awards, including the People’s Choice Award at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. This success propelled him into the world of filmmaking, where he used cinema as a tool to raise awareness on crucial social issues.

In 2009, Jones served as an Associate Producer for the powerful film The Stoning of Soraya M., a harrowing portrayal of injustice that went on to win the NAACP Image Award and the Los Angeles Film Festival Award. That same year, he produced the pro-life short film “Crescendo”, partnering with Eduardo Verastegui and Pattie Mallette (the mother of Justin Bieber). This award-winning film raised over $6 million in support of pregnancy centers and women’s shelters, cementing Jones’ reputation as an advocate for life.

Jason is also the host of The Jason Jones Show and the author of several influential books, including The Race to Save Our Century, The Great Campaign Against the Great Reset, and his newest release, Dispatches From the Great Campaign (2025). His life’s work continues to unite art, faith, and action in defense of the world’s most vulnerable.

Glendie Loranger

As the Executive Director of Life Services, a pregnancy medical center, in Spokane Washington, Glendie has witnessed God transform many lives for His purposes. Her own redemption story from abortion and abuse has fed her dream to see people set free from emotional & spiritual bondage and live passionate lives for Jesus. 

Glendie regularly speaks at churches and schools teaching people how to talk about life and abortion with civility, compassion and accuracy. She is the founder and co-host of the LIFE Renovation Podcast which holds meaningful conversations around faith, family & sexuality.  

Glendie is an ordained pastor with Foursquare International. Before stepping into ministry, she enjoyed many years as a high school teacher and athletic trainer. She has a passion to  raise up the younger generation and set them up for success in leadership

Glendie and her husband, John, have two young adult sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law and the smartest, most adorable grandson.

In all she does, Glendie seeks to live out the calling God has on her life to “Make known what God has done and proclaim that His name is exalted.” Isaiah 12:4

Elizabeth Barrett

Elizabeth Barrett was a pro-choice agnostic who turned into a pro-life Christian through the miracles she experienced in her Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) journey. Having a daughter changed the way she looked at the world, and the delicate gift we call life. Since her daughter’s birth she has dedicated her life to defending the lives of unborn children through sharing her truth.

Elizabeth was blessed with the opportunity to share her story at the 2023/ 2024 CareNet annual Banquet of Paradise; was a participant at Babies Go to Congress in 2024 with Heartbeat International, and was a VIP speaker at Heartbeat International’s Annual Spring into Life Conference in2025. She stands behind the efficacy of APR, and is now a part of the Supreme Court of California’s lawsuit involving Attorney General Rob Bonta, who claims APR is ‘experimental and misleading for women.’

Rev. Clenard Childress

 

The Rev. Clenard Howard Childress, Jr., has spoken at almost every Walk West for Life Coast since its founding. A life- long resident of Montclair, New Jersey, he joined the New Calvary Baptist Church in September of 1974 under the pastorate of Dr. Shellie Sampson. He was ordained in 1988 by the North Jersey Shiloh Association and installed as Senior Pastor of New Calvary in April of 1989. The Reverend Childress is a tireless advocate for the Right to Life for all American, with a special emphasis on eliminating the scourge of abortion from the African-American community.

His accomplishments and awards are too many to list here, but include his 1999 appointment as President of the Life Education And Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N) in Northeast Region; and the founder of BlackGenocide.org. Rev. Childress was extensively profiled in PBS’s Frontline documentary “Anti-Abortion Crusaders inside the African American Abortion Battle.”
