À propos de cet audio

 Our weekly radio show airs on Walk 97.5 FM and highlights the humanity of the people who make up our community. We have guests on the show to discuss the myriad complexities within the criminal justice system.

Legal Aid is the primary provider of indigent defense in criminal and family courts in Suffolk County. Simply put, if someone is accused of a crime or a family offense, they are entitled to counsel, and the courts will assign counsel if they do not have the wherewithal to afford a lawyer. We also provide support services for our clients in need of addiction intervention, housing, or mental health referrals.Copyright Debra Sterling Walters Politique Sciences politiques Sciences sociales

    #100 - Barbara Allen
    Sep 7 2025
    Imagine waking up one day to find your whole world turned upside down — your partner behind bars, your family in crisis, and no roadmap for what comes next. That was Barbara Allan’s reality. But instead of breaking under the weight, she built a movement. From founding Prison Families Anonymous to co-founding Prison Families Alliance, Barbara has become a voice for the millions of families serving ‘hidden sentences’ on the outside. Her story isn’t just about surviving — it’s about transforming pain into power, and isolation into community. And today, she’s here to share that journey with us.

    #98 - Huntington’s Heartbeat: Parks, Beaches, Roads & Refuse with Supervisor Ed Smyth
    Aug 17 2025
    On this episode of Legal Aid Radio… he’s back! Huntington Town Supervisor Ed Smyth joins us for a special conversation about where Huntington has been—and where the township is headed next.

    Ed Smyth's first term has been all about results from eight straight years under the tax cap to a Triple-A bond rating, record road paving, cleaner beaches, upgraded parks, and even bringing Steven Spielberg to town.

    Now, as he runs for re-election, we’ll talk about his vision for keeping Huntington’s suburban charm, boosting our economy, and protecting the places we love, from our parks to our shoreline.

    Tune in to this candid, behind-the-scenes conversation with the man steering Huntington’s future.
