NANCP = National Alliance of Non-Custodial Parents
A Powerbase for Achieving Equal Rights for All Parents
State of Non-Custodial Parents
- NCP’s are mostly good parents who love their children and want to parent
them responsibly.
- NCP’s are parents whose parental rights have been diminished arbitrarily
without due process.
- Some NCP’s have banded together into small, underfunded groups attempting
to do battle with a well-funded, self-aggrandizing, self-preserving system to
maximize collection of child support.
- No NCP group has yet been successful in changing the status quo based on
constitutional rights.

Resolution
Resolved: In order for any NCP group to be effective in
changing the status quo, a critical mass of NCP’s must form a national alliance
with proper funding and communication technology. Such an alliance will form a
powerbase for advocating equal rights for parents.
Powerbase Critical Elements
A powerbase for an alliance of NCP’s must have 2 critical elements
- Funding, Consistent and growing source
- Communication channel to the members
- Broadcast capability as well as targeted communication necessary
- Example of successful alliances: AARP, NOW, NAACP, NRA
Powerbase Structure
- Distributed, consisting of many local groups
- Inclusive, including groups concerned about other men’s issues
- Democratic, every member has equal opportunity to grow and exercise
influence.
- Dynamic, growth creates opportunities and new directions.
Goals
- 500 members by July 1, 2005.
- 200,000 members by January 1, 2006, 1% of NCP’s in nation
- Generate $200,000+ per month in income at national level.
- Generate $1000 - $10,000+ per month for each participating group.
- Direct funds strategically and tactically through leadership and
communication to the members.
