Special Guest Speaker
Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America
With Dannenfelser at the helm of America’s largest grassroots pro-life political organization, the pro-life movement succeeded in electing a pro-life president and Senate, confirming three U.S. Supreme Court justices, and overturning Roe v. Wade. In the 2022 election cycle SBA Pro-Life America and its super PAC, Women Speak Out, raised more than $78 million and reached more than eight million pro-life voters through door-to-door canvassing, voter mail, texting, and digital communications. Previously in the 2020 cycle, their efforts helped elect the largest incoming class of pro-life congresswomen in history, with 19 new pro-life women and 30 total serving in the U.S. House of Representatives – more than double the previous record.
Called “the woman who brought down Roe” by the Los Angeles Times and others, Dannenfelser is the author of “Life is Winning: Inside the Fight for Unborn Children and Their Mothers,” which was ranked Amazon’s #1 New Release in NGO Policy upon its release in August 2020. She has also been published in TIME, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, USA Today, RealClearPolitics, The Washington Post, and National Review, among others, and profiled by New York Magazine, The Telegraph, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post.
In 2020, Dannenfelser was again named national co-chair of the Pro-Life Voices for Trump coalition, a role she held during the 2016 campaign after securing four groundbreaking pro-life commitments from the nominee. In 2017, U.S. Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell appointed her to the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commission. In 2020, Dannenfelser served as a panelist on the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships. In addition, she served on Life Perspectives’ Task Force. She has been named to Politico’s Power List of 40 influential leaders for 2022 and Fox’s “rising political stars” for 2023. Previously, she was one of Politico Magazine’s Top 50 Influencers, Washington Examiner’s top ten “Political Women on the Move,” Newsmax’s top 25 Most Influential Republican Women, and Newsweek’s top ten “Leaders of the Christian Right.” She is an alumna of Duke University.
David Bereit
National Pro-Life Leader
David Bereit is a seasoned pro-life leader, strategic advisor to organizations worldwide, and dynamic communicator. His pro-life journey began in Texas, where he galvanized a coalition of 60 churches and thousands of volunteers to remove Planned Parenthood from local schools, revoke taxpayer funding, curtail abortions, and ultimately close the local abortion center
He went on to found and lead the global 40 Days for Life movement through its first decade. Under David’s leadership, these efforts saved 14,643 lives, helped 177 workers leave the abortion industry, and closed 96 abortion facilities.
Now, top pro-life leaders and philanthropists have asked David to spearhead a new, movement-wide collaborative effort to unify pro-life organizations and leaders for even greater collective impact—through strategy, coordination, shared messaging, targeted mobilization, and rallying major financial resources to advance the entire movement. This initiative will be publicly announced soon.
A globally sought-after speaker and recognized expert, David has addressed more than 1,000 in-person audiences, hosted hundreds of online events, and been featured in nearly every major media outlet—collectively inspiring millions around the world and raising over $95 million for pro-life and faith-based causes.

Jeff Steinberg
Keynote Speaker, Preacher, Humorist/Comedian and SingerÂ
He stands 4’6’ tall on wobbly legs; he holds a microphone with a metal hook attached to a myoelectric prosthetic arm; yet he commands the entire stage and fills the auditorium with his “UNIQUE” message: You’re a Masterpiece in Progress!”
Keynote speaker, preacher, humorist/comedian, and singer Jeff IS a Masterpiece in Progress! Born August 18, 1951, with no arms, severely deformed legs, and expectation that he would not survive, Jeff spent his early yeasts in hospitals, including Shriners’ Hospital for Crippled Children in Philadelphia, PA, facing orthopedic surgery, he learned to walk with a brace and was fitter with his fir prosthetic arm. At age nine, he was placed into The Good Shepherd Home for the Physically Handicapped in Allentown, PA, until he was 19.
As a young boy, Jeff learned the truth that would become the foundation of his life: “I am made to be awesome and wonderful!” (Psalm 139:14)
Jeff sees his disabilities as assets, not liabilities. He is living proof that “…the difficult we do right away, the impossible takes a little longer!” He travels the globe with a very special message: that a real handicap is “… anything that keeps me from being or becoming all that I was created to be!” “God uses the least likely person to accomplish extraordinary things in a most unusual way!”
For more than 47 years, he has performed on TV variety shows and telethons. Jeff was co-host of an entertaining and original informative television special called “The Best You Can Be… The Handicapped Hall of Fame.”
