OLA is Here for You

OLA exists to serve you. We work to effect change in the institutions our community depends on such as local police departments, governments, and schools. We also provide services that range from ensuring people meet basic needs and recover lost wages to offering Know Your Rights trainings and English and Spanish classes. Read on to learn more about how OLA can help you.

Advocacy and Legal Services

OLA’s policy, legal, and general advocacy includes fighting for local and state legislation that benefits immigrants, connecting people to trusted attorneys for a range of legal matters, and advocating on behalf of individual victims and for systemic change with East End police departments and the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

Educational Programs

OLA regularly offers mini-courses in English and Spanish, arts workshops, and youth empowerment gatherings.
