My name is Dave Aucoin and I serve as the President of the Rhode Island Family Institute formerly the Family Policy Alliance of Rhode Island. We are part of a national alliance with a presence in 42 states. We are networked with 3 other well-known and effective Faith and Family ministries: Focus on the Family, Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and the Family Research Council located in Washington DC. Our mission statement is to make Rhode Island a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive,
and life is cherished.
