“I first got involved with weDignify after the event coordinator at the Newman Center thought I should meet the pro-life missionaries because of my interest in pro-life advocacy. That meeting sparked my curiosity in the organization and led me to join a small group.”

“I saw how weDignify managed to inspire many of my fellow students to stand up for life, and I’m excited to be a part of that mission this year!”

As a missionary, Braiden will be leading small groups and mentoring students to become pro-life leaders.

Braiden graduated from Illinois State University in 2026 with a Bachelor’s in Political Science.

Braiden is a Pro-Life Missionary at the University of Illinois!
