Jam for Justice features law students, attorneys, judges and their other professional friends from Northeast Ohio who moonlight as rock stars.
This year, the live show is back — but in a COVID-safe way. In 2020, Jam for Justice is going virtual.
Tune in to Legal Aid’s Facebook page and website at 7:30 p.m. today, Thursday and Tuesday, Sept. 29, to catch the Jam for Justice bands performing live on stage at the iconic downtown Cleveland House of Blues.
While these events are free to join, donations are encouraged: demand for Legal Aid’s services have grown considerably due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a news release. In the past two months, requests for housing help and employment help have increased 39 percent and 22 percent respectively, compared with the same period last year.
