2025 #RippleOfHope Gala Social Media Toolkit

The Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award honors exemplary leaders across government, business, advocacy, and entertainment who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to social change and worked to protect and advance equity, justice, and human rights. This year’s laureates—Martin Cabrera, Jr., Stephen Colbert, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, and Darren Walker—will be honored at the annual Ripple of Hope Gala on December 9 in New York City.

We encourage you to personalize, tag RFK Human Rights accounts, and adapt each message for all social media platforms.

Honored to be at this year’s @RFKHumanRights #RippleOfHope Gala celebrating the work of Stephen Colbert, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Darren Walker, and Martin Cabrera Jr. Inspired by Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 1966 Day of Affirmation address to students in South Africa at the height of Apartheid, the Ripple of Hope Award reflects his belief in human dignity and in our collective power to advance equity, justice, and human rights.

What an inspiring night at the @RFKHumanRights #RippleOfHope Gala, honoring leaders who remind us what courage looks like in action. Congratulations Stephen Colbert, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Darren Walker, and Martin Cabrera Jr.!
