In response to the many forces eroding marriage and the
family, prominent pro-family organizations are forming the
World Family Alliance, a worldwide coalition united in defense
of marriage, family and life.
The World Family Alliance is gathering signatures on the
petition below to present to government officials at international
confereces and at the United Nations to show worldwide support
for the family.
Please join this effort and make your voice heard in support
of marriage, family and life by signing the petition below.
WE THE PEOPLE from various nations, cultures,
and faiths around the world join together in this urgent
worldwide call to defend marriage and the family.
REMEMBERING that throughout history the
family has been the essential foundation of every successful
society, and is recognized as “the natural and fundamental
group unit of society . . . entitled to protection by society
and the State”; and
RECOGNIZING that marriage between husband
and wife, entered into with the free consent of both, continues
to be the best foundation for strong and effective families
and the best environment to prepare each new generation
for productive lives and responsible citizenship; and
NOTING that marriage and families throughout
the world are now being severely undermined by a variety
of social, cultural, political, legal and economic forces,
including insufficient protection of life before as well
as after birth, resulting in widespread harm to individuals,
families, communities, and nations;
NOW THEREFORE, we call upon all responsible
citizens, community leaders and government officials throughout
the world to take all necessary measures to defend marriage
as the exclusive union of male and female, to protect life
from conception until natural death and to promote and strengthen
the family as the fundamental unit of society.
Please fill in the information
below. To protect your privacy, only your name, title, position and
country will appear on the petition or Web site.
