TJ Burgess serves as President and CEO of Men for Life, the world’s only consistently pro-life organization focused on the inclusion of men in human rights discussions, focused on the conversation of abortion.
TJ was rooted with a passion for pro-life activism and leadership early on in life. TJ was inspired after attending a pro-life leadership institute in high school, and devoted his life to making human rights abuses unthinkable.
TJ has worked with a network of pro-life missions professionally, including Americans United for Life and Louisiana Right to Life. In 2018, TJ launched Men for Life after seeing a social media post by NARAL Pro-Choice America advocating for active pro-abortion men, ironically on Father’s Day, a day meant for the celebration of life and parenthood.
In just a few short years, Men for Life has grown to be internationally acclaimed, and TJ speaks at press events, conferences, and rallies across the globe.
