Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
COMMUNITY LAWYERING MODEL: OUR FLAGSHIP COMMUNITY-LAWYERING MODEL COMBINES DIRECT LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN CIVIL AND CRIMINAL MATTERS, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WORKSHOPS, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR PARTNER ORGANIZATION STAFF. PARTNERING WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF NYC COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, WE OFFER ON-SITE LEGAL SERVICES FOR CLIENTS FACING EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION, EVICTION, SCHOOL SUSPENSION, SUMMONSES, AND OTHER CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LEGAL ISSUES. WE PARTNER WITH MORE THAN 50 COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS, TO DELIVER SERVICES TO THOUSANDS OF CLIENTS ACROSS NEW YORK.
POLICY REFORM: WE WORK AT THE STATE AND CITY LEVEL TO PUSH FOR POLICIES THAT DIVEST FROM SYSTEMS THAT ARREST, DETAIN, AND IMPRISON BLACK AND LATIN YOUTH, AND INVEST IN THE KINDS OF PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES THAT MAKE YOUNG PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES TRULY SAFE. WE WERE ONE OF THE LEAD ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN TO RAISE THE AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY TO 18 IN NEW YORK, AND WE CURRENTLY LEAD THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE YOUTH JUSTICE & OPPORTUNITIES ACT (YJ&O), A COMPREHENSIVE AGENDA TO EXPAND ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION AND RECORD SEALING FOR YOUTH NOT COVERED BY RAISE THE AGE. THROUGH OUR CITY DREAMERS PROGRAM, WE PROVIDE ADVOCACY TRAINING AND SUPPORT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND CONNECT THEM WITH LEADERSHIP AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES SO THEY CAN BE AGENTS FOR CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
STRATEGIC LITIGATION: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LAW FIRMS AND ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS THE NAACP-LDF, WE PURSUE INDIVIDUAL AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST EMPLOYERS WHO ILLEGALLY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST APPLICANTS WITH CRIMINAL HISTORIES. THESE LAWSUITS AIM TO PROCURE FINANCIAL SETTLEMENTS AND SYSTEMIC CHANGE IN HIRING PRACTICES, AMONG OTHER FORMS OF RELIEF, FOR SYSTEM-AFFECTED CLIENTS. ADDITIONALLY, OUR STRATEGIC LITIGATION PRACTICE USES LAWS THAT OUR POLICY TEAM HAS CHAMPIONED AS A MECHANISM FOR SOCIAL CHANGELAWS THAT AIM TO COUNTER DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY OPPRESSED UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. TO DATE, YOUTH REPRESENT'S STRATEGIC LITIGATION HAS SECURED OVER $8 MILLION IN SETTLEMENT FUNDS, PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR OVER 24,000 INDIVIDUALS WRONGLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR HAVING SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT AND GIVING MANY THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EMPLOYMENT.
