Coalition to Protect Kids NY

What Coalition to Protect Kids NY does

Coalition to Protect Kids NY, legally Coalition to Protect Kids Policy Group Inc., is a 501(c)(4) social welfare nonprofit organization headquartered in Buffalo, New York, that advocates for policy reform and public awareness on children's welfare, parental rights, and gender-related issues in New York State. The organization originated as a ballot issue committee registered with the New York State Board of Elections to oppose Proposition 1 (the New York Equal Rights Amendment), and following its passage on November 5, 2024, transitioned into a standing policy reform and public action group. Its core activities include grassroots organizing, weekly Zoom education calls, speaker programs featuring parents affected by gender policies, statewide events such as the Walk Off for Fairness Day (#GirlCott) sports protest, petition drives targeting Governor Hochul, and paid media campaigns including statewide television advertisements and physical billboards.

The organization operates without proprietary technology products or platforms, relying on a standard Wix-hosted website, social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), email newsletters, and event-based community organizing as its distribution infrastructure. Its revenue model is donation-based: as a 501(c)(4) entity, contributions are not tax-deductible, and the organization suggests one-time or monthly recurring donations ranging from $5 to $1,000+ through its website and mailing address. The leadership team includes Executive Director Dennis Hannon, Director Ayesha Kreutz (also President of Frederick Douglas Freedom Alliance NY), and board members affiliated with Compass Care and 95 Nutrition.

Closely comparable mission and tactics to Coalition to Protect Kids NY, with shared policy focus on parental authority over education and medical decisions affecting children.
• Moms for Liberty: Parental rights advocacy organization focused on school board engagement, curriculum transparency, and opposition to gender ideology in K-12 education. Directly comparable in mission, tactics (grassroots chapters, school-board focus, speaker programs), and policy positions, though operating across multiple states rather than NY-only.

• American Principles Project: Conservative advocacy organization focused on parental rights, opposition to gender ideology in schools, and family policy. Operates in the same policy lane as Coalition to Protect Kids NY, frequently producing messaging and media content the Coalition echoes at the state level.
• Independent Women's Forum: Conservative women's policy organization advocating on issues including Title IX, girls' sports, and parental rights. Directly comparable on the girls'-sports protection and parental-rights advocacy tracks, and a likely source of policy research and media amplification for Coalition messaging.

Broad incumbents

• Family Research Council: Larger and longer-established conservative policy and advocacy organization working on family, parental rights, and religious-liberty issues. Significantly more institutional capacity and national reach than Coalition to Protect Kids NY, frequently shaping the broader policy environment in which state-level groups like this one operate.

Operates upstream of state-level advocacy groups through litigation and amicus briefs that shape the legal backdrop for campaigns like the Coalition's.

Emerging players

• Gays Against Groomers: Smaller grassroots advocacy organization opposing gender ideology in schools and child gender medicine. Direct overlap on policy positions and grassroots tactics, though focused on social media mobilization rather than formal state-policy organizing.
• Our Duty: Parental rights group advocating for transparency in schools and parental authority over children's education and medical decisions. Emerging player in the same policy space, focused on a similar grassroots-and-policy hybrid model.
