Glenn Sacks is a columnist and radio talk show host known for his advocacy on issues affecting fathers and boys. He has written extensively about family court reform, parental alienation, and gender equality in parenting. Through his media work and public campaigns, Sacks has aimed to bring attention to what he views as systemic biases against men in custody disputes and domestic policy. His commentary often challenges mainstream narratives around gender and family dynamics.

Sacks' experiences as a father and as a man navigating the family court system had a major influence on his later work. He became involved in advocacy after witnessing what he perceived as systemic biases against fathers in custody and family law cases. He's often emphasized the importance of father involvement in children's lives, and much of his passion for men's and fathers’ rights seems rooted in a personal understanding of these challenges. His writing and activism suggest that he was shaped not only by personal experience but also by broader social issues surrounding masculinity, parenting, and fairness in legal systems.

From 2003 through 2006, Sacks hosted “His Side with Glenn Sacks”, a nationally syndicated radio show focused on men’s issues and fathers’ rights. The show gave a platform to topics rarely addressed in mainstream media and helped spark conversations on gender equity from a male perspective.

Subsequent to his radio show, Sacks became a columnist and writer. His writings appeared in The Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Newsday, Houston Chronicle, and others. The topics he covered often included family law reform, media bias against fathers, and issues like alimony, domestic violence, and false accusations. His writing is often backed with statistics and policy analysis, aimed at shifting public perception on men’s roles in society and the challenges they face.

Today, he is a Social Studies teacher at James Monroe High School in Los Angeles, California, the co-founder of the National Parents Organization (formerly Fathers & Families) and is known as one of the most active and recognized fathers’ rights advocacy groups in the U.S. The organization pushes for shared parenting laws, family court reform, and equal parental rights.

Due to his commitment to education, he has been recognized multiple times, including being named to “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers” three times and receiving commendations from the Superintendent of LAUSD (LA Unified School District) for exceptional performance.
