The Ripple Effect of The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland

The Ripple Effect of The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland

This video premiered at The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland’s 113th annual meeting on November 19, 2018 and features excerpts from Robert F. Kennedy’s “Day of Affirmation” speech on June 6, 1966 at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. All images in the video are Cleveland Legal Aid’s attorneys, clients, and community.

The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland selected the excerpts because of the timeless call to action it embodies and the link to Legal Aid’s great ripple effect on our community.

With your help, Legal Aid can extend our reach to stabilize families and move people from poverty to greater community engagement. Through this, we witness a stronger and thriving democracy.
