The Indian River County Republicans for Life is a conservative political organization chartered through the Republican Party of Florida. As our name suggests, our entire purpose is to promote the pro-life movement, celebrating and defending life from conception to natural death.
In order to carry out our mission, we seek to:
- Educate voters about pro-life issues including the various stages of fetal development.
- Inform our membership about legislation affecting the unborn, the handicapped and the elderly.
- Energize our members to actively participate in pro-life events.
- Influence elections and legislation by supporting pro-life candidates and bills.
- Engage our culture via media and other public forums.
- Impact our community by advocating in support of the pro-life cause.
The IRC Republicans for Life hosts a luncheon meeting at the Vero Beach Yacht Club on the fourth Friday of each month except for July and August (during non-election years). The dates of our November and December meetings are flexible due to the holiday season. At each luncheon, special speakers address our membership and guests about important topics that are pertinent to the pro-life movement.
Our Board of Trustees meet the first Wednesday of each month at 2:00p.m.
