The Orthodox Christian Laity was founded in 1987. Interestingly, from their website, they state as their mission:
Our Mission
I saw the largest and best part of the Orthodox Church in the Diaspora, and I understood how exalted the name of Orthodoxy could be, especially in the United Sates of America, if more than two million Orthodox people there were united into one church organization, an American Orthodox Church.
Ecumenical Patriarch Meletios IV (January 1922)
Notice that Met. Meletios while serving as EP unilaterally imposed the New Calendar on the Greek Orthodox Church.
The OCL also has a presence on Facebook where they state:
The Orthodox Christian Laity (OCL) is a syndiaconia (co-ministry) of clergy and laity committed to Orthodox unity and transparency in Church governance.

In his website, Fr. Nectarios Serfes addresses some of the abuses of the OCL in an essay he wrote on May 23, 2003

The Orthodox Christian Laity (OCL) in America has recently expressed, in print, their ideas as to what the Orthodox Church is, and should be. Going further, they have given their opinions as to how the Church should be run. At the same time they have expressed dismay at the way they see the Church being run now. This situation has resulted in confusion and distress among many devout Orthodox Christians.
