Record breaking.

Last weekend, Dance for Democracy and the Cooperstown community raised more than $3,200 for Hiscock Legal Aid Society — the most ever raised in a single Dance for Democracy event — with 150 people dancing and singing their way through a night of songs and pure joy.

HLA provides free legal representation to thousands of people across CNY each year, including immigrants and asylum seekers.

Thank you, Dance for Democracy, for selecting Hiscock Legal Aid Society as your March beneficiary!
