Outreach & Training

Our team of passionate attorneys offer trainings, workshops, legal clinics and technical assistance both virtually and on-site throughout the five boroughs of New York City.

We provide education opportunities through staff trainings for service providers, Know-Your-Rights trainings for community groups, and legal trainings at colleges and universities.

Our team advocates for the rights of transgender people, immigrants, and sex workers who are often at the intersection of systemic injustice, criminalization, and deportation. Throughout our history, we’ve empowered legal practitioners with specialized training that amplifies their ability to support these communities.

To book a training session or request technical assistance, email Abby Anzalone at aanzalone@urbanjustice.org.
