As a former boardmember and later secretary, treasurer and finally president of a "NGO" founded in the 1980's; after decades of fighting for equal regard under the law, we were faced with a harsh reality and a hard decision.
Either we continued lobbying the government for change and continue to write amicus briefs for legal appeals, or we turn our limited resources to public education. After much reflection, about 20 years ago, it became apparent the government and its judicial branch would not change direction because they had built up many profit centers and beneficiaries around then present systems of injustice. This is why we decided to focus on how to shift the Overton window toward awareness of this systematic violation of essential human rights within the borders of our supposed bastion of freedom.
It was a daunting task, a battle with many fronts. We started out as the foci of disdain due to the Clinton's attorney general's efforts having demonized fathers; all oppressed by the family courts and attacked through finances from state departments of health. You can thank ours and other unknown organizations and friends, like Kassie J., for today's improved attitudes around the role of fathers in rearing and necessary protection of children.
My point being, there are many NGOs not connected to government finances, simple groups exercising their legitimate right to speech and free association. It is this legitimacy the IC hides behind with their invented and phony NGOs that twist public opinion toward their leftist will and away from sanity in order to launder government funds to line their pockets. Most legitimate and effective NGOs are not well funded and function primarily on the dedication of its volunteers.
