United Families International
MEET AUTHOR United Families International
For over 40 years, United Families International has worked on the national and international level to strengthen and defend the family. Our mission includes educating and empowering citizens and decision-makers to protect the family as the foundation of society, marriage between a man and a woman as the organizing principle of flourishing families, the sanctity of life, the rights and obligations of parents in raising and teaching their children, and religious liberty – the right of individuals to live in accordance with their religious convictions.
