Limited VolunteerIn September of 2014, the pro-life community of Las Cruces, NM, was shocked to learn that an abortion center was opening in their City of the Crosses. The consensus was unified and immediate: If this facility is working full-time to harm the women and children in our community, how can we as a church only respond part-time?
The Coalition for Life of Las Cruces was organized in 2015 as a new independent nonprofit with a mission of seeing God end abortion in Las Cruces, peacefully and prayerfully. Relying entirely on private donations and a leap of faith, the Coalition hired founder Mark Cavaliere as their full-time Executive Director in May 2016, who sought guidance and on-site training from notable pro-life champions in Houston, Austin, and College Station, Texas, as well as from St. Louis, Missouri.
