grandparents who have been victimized by the Domestic Relations
Courts. We promote, support and engage in peaceful direct action
that focuses attention on the atrocities committed by Domestic
Relations Judges who use the divorce industry against parents,
children and grandparents. ALCFC needs the support of people who
want to change the system and are willing to make the sacrifices
necessary to bring about change. After all aren't our children worth
it.

The
Bridge Men's Group
San rafael
In 2003, the vision
for The Bridge was manifested. Men really don’t have many safe
places to share their innermost feelings, fears and desires. We may
share with our woman, but even then, we are often guarded and
protected. We stumble along, doing the best we can, but many of us
feel there is something lacking. The Bridge was created to provide
a safe place for men to be themselves while also going deeper into
themselves than many thought possible.
