The Working Families Legal Clinic

Our pro bono Working Families Legal Clinic is a vital resource for workers across the Chicago metro area. It offers legal support and guidance to address issues related to Labor, Immigration, and Family Law.

By providing access to free legal expertise, advocacy, and representation, this program enables immigrant workers to regularize their status, assert their rights, and seek justice. Through collaboration with lawyers, community organizations, and volunteers, the clinic not only helps individual workers but also contributes to building a more just and equitable labor landscape in Chicago.

We can help you with DALE!

Our Legal Clinic for Working Families offers free legal assistance to complete your new DALE application or your DALE extension application.


What is DALE? Deferred Action for Labor Enforcement (DALE) is a program designed to protect immigrant workers who denounce labor violations, such as wage theft or unsafe working conditions, to government agencies that issue a letter of interest protecting the workers. DALE offers temporary protection against deportation and a work permit, encouraging workers to speak out without fear of immigration consequences.
