UnLocal is a dynamic and rapidly growing community-centered legal service organization that provides direct legal representation and community education to New York City’s undocumented immigrant communities.  UnLocal seeks to identify specific gaps in services that are not sufficiently provided elsewhere and tailors its programming to best serve undocumented New Yorkers. UnLocal accomplishes its mission through its two main programs: the Legal Representation Program and the Community Education Program. In 2019, UnLocal's legal team collectively worked on over 600 immigration cases. Through outreach, UnLocal coordinated 68 community education events throughout the five boroughs of New York City with 82 grassroots partners. 1,810 attendees participated in Know-Your-Rights trainings, emergency planning sessions and informational seminars on current events in immigration law, and received free legal consultations. In an environment of unjust and harmful immigration policies, UnLocal has committed to stand by all immigrants by expanding programming and exploring new ways to collaborate with immigrant communities on a grassroots level that keeps constituents informed and connected.   UnLocal, Inc. was founded in 2008 by Michele Lampach and Laura Stein and originally conceived as an online resource for immigrant New Yorkers to provide information about New York-based social services.  UnLocal, Inc. volunteers conducted a needs assessment by organizing a meeting of immigrant leaders and services providers, wrote a business plan in collaboration with NYU’s Stern School of Business and created an internship program at the International High School of Prospect Heights, in which recent immigrant teens participated in the business plan process.   After a pause, in 2011, UnLocal became active once again and secured 501(c)(3) status with the support of CUNY School of Law’s Community Legal Resource Network (CLRN) Incubator for Justice, an incubating space for individuals and nonprofits aimed at serving communities underserved by legal services. With CLRN’s support, UnLocal revised its mission and became a direct legal services provider and community education organization for New York’s City’s undocumented immigrants.   Now, UnLocal finds itself at a pivotal moment as the organization’s founder, Michele Lampach, steps down from her role as Executive Director.
