NCFM Vice President Marc Angelucci, Esq., represented the plaintiffs in the landmark domestic violence case Woods v. Horton (“Woods”). Consequently, in 2008, theĀ California Court of Appeal decided domestic violence services providers had to provide services to men as well as women. To our knowledge there has been little or no effort on behalf of the state of California or domestic violence service providers to comply substantively with the court ruling.
The California Emergency Management Agency oversees domestic violence service providers receiving state funds. The attached public records requestĀ from Mr. Angelucci, on behalf of the National Coalition For Men, to the Emergency Management Agency, requests substantial information necessary to answer compliance questions.
Thank you Marc. This is a major undertaking. For you non NCFM members, well… saddle up my friends, we still have a long way to go. Thanks to those like Marc your journey may not be as dangerous as was David’s and his family…

[…] And I talked about how the State of California now is not giving sufficient answersĀ to our Public Records Act request regarding the enforcement of Woods, so there may need to be further […]
It is about time the feminist run government start actually treating men and women equally. That means holding women equally responsible for battering men, and punishing them the same way we punish men. Men suffer from the triple threat when it comes to domestic violence; 1. All men are treated as abusers. 2. Legal discrimination under the law, if this were any other group there would be demonstrations everywhere.

If you are a California resident you may want to contact your elected leaders in both houses of the legislature. If you are a resident or not contact Governor Jerry Brown. This should help bring attention to Woods vs. Horton.
Go get 'em.
