A pro‑life advocacy display at UCLA was vandalized once again, this time on May 20, 2025, when an individual wearing UCLA gear defaced Justice For All’s signs with black spray paint. The incident, captured on video, marks the second attack by the same suspect, who also stole pro‑life signs in 2023. The group has filed a police report and plans to press charges.
Justice For All, invited by UCLA’s Live Action chapter to host peaceful dialogue, described the incident as unacceptable and expressed concern for the student responsible. “Most of our outreaches are peaceful… Sometimes that’s not the case though,” they wrote. The group emphasized their belief in respectful conversation, contrasting this vandalism with their usual campus exchanges.
This vandalism follows a pattern of hostility toward pro‑life efforts on college campuses, including a UNC Asheville student government candidate who destroyed a Students for Life display and directed profanity at pro‑life advocates earlier in the year. Justice For All staff member Bekah Dyer highlighted the suspect’s repeat offenses, noting that police have yet to apprehend him. The video and images have been posted online, and the organization is encouraging witnesses to come forward.
As of now, UCLA has not issued a public statement regarding the incident, and the identity of the individual remains unconfirmed beyond their appearance in UCLA attire. With authorities involved and charges pending, this case shines a spotlight on free‑speech tensions and campus conduct. Supporters of pro‑life advocacy warn that such actions threaten the rights of students to engage in peaceful discourse without fear of harassment or intimidation on public university grounds.
