LEGAL SUPPORT
We provide free pro se administrative assistance to individuals requesting our services. We are not lawyers, do not provide legal advice, and do not represent anyone in legal matters. Our support is limited to helping with the preparation and filing of legal documents so that individuals can manage their own legal processes on their own behalf. When legal advice is needed, we refer individuals to competent and licensed attorneys qualified to provide such assistance.
We are able to connect families with necessary legal services through our partnerships with Americans for Immigrant Justice, Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County, Southern Poverty Law Center, and very select private law firms.
Please call us at 561-547-0085 to schedule an appointment with our paralegal, receive a legal referral, or to register for our next Power of Attorney or Know Your Rights event.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING
Our team goes out into the community regularly to educate, empower, and connect individuals with vital resources. Our organizing campaigns range widely based on the communities needs. Our priorities have ranged from educating workers on how to protect themselves against diseases like Zika, Covid-19, or heat stroke, to preparing families for impending hurricanes. At other times, our focus is on informing individuals on their rights as workers, immigrants, or tenants. Here, we mobilize our community to advocate for themselves in city hall, at rallies, or in public prayers. When performing outreach and organizing, we pass out supplies that benefits outdoor workers (such as sunscreen) and connect community members to vital resources they may not otherwise have access to it.
