Disability Advocates of Legal Aid (DALA) is a cross-union caucus for attorneys, social workers, paralegals, and other support staff of the Legal Aid Society--the largest and oldest public defender organization in NYC. We zealously advocate not only for our indigent clients but for ADA accommodations, accessibility, and disability education/awareness within our office and community.

Our disabled members are in desperate need of legal advice and representation to protect them from management's egregious ongoing discrimination, retaliation, and harassment. For many of us, this is a matter of life or death. But attorneys cost money, and we are entirely volunteer-led with no external funding sources.

If you would like to make a huge difference in the lives of committed public servants and advance the fight for disability justice, please donate to our legal fund. If you cannot donate, please boost this fundraiser in your networks. Every dollar is appreciated!
