Defend Marriage is joining with other national and international groups in launching a major international campaign to defend marriage and the family.

These conferences are an outstanding opportunity for you to learn from internationally recognized experts about the threats to these critical institutions and what you can do to help defend them. You are invited to attend one of these conferences.
