- Gary Cangemi, of Scranton, leads a workshop about his cartoon, “Umbert the Unborn.”
Erie People for Life chapter President Tim Broderick and Scranton Pennsylvanians for Human Life chapter Chairman Gary Cangemi were among dozens of workshop presenters from across America at the 2012 National Right to Life Convention in Arlington, VA, June 28 to 30.
Broderick’s workshop was titled, “Chapter Activities: The Importance of Seeing and Understanding ‘The Big Picture.’” He used many photos of various activities performed by volunteers at his chapter to illustrate the difference that a local chapter can make for life.

Cangemi has become an annual presenter for NRL. His workshop featured the cartoon character he created, “Umbert the Unborn,” to demonstrate the humanity of the unborn child in lighthearted, yet poignant ways. His workshop included many of his cartoon strips, a game of “Unborn Babies In Jeopardy,” the sketching of a new original cartoon strip with audience input and singing distinctly pro-life songs set to familiar tunes in the public domain.
