The Supreme Lodge
The charitable arm of OSIA is the Sons of Italy Foundation and the Commission for Social Justice (CSJ) fights the stereotyping of Italian Americans by the U.S. entertainment, advertising, and media industries. The CSJ also promotes the achievements and contributions of Italian Americans to the U.S. through research and public education programs.
The symbol of the order is the golden lion and the organization's principles are embodied in the slogan: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." The official quarterly publication of OSIA is "Italian America." The fraternal organization of Canadians of Italian heritage is the Order Sons of Italy of Canada.
Information about the current activities of the Grand Lodge can be found in their monthly publication, the "Golden Lion." There are 19 Grand Lodges in the United States and Canada.
