The Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Fund
One year ago today, we lost our beloved founder, Ethel Skakel Kennedy. We remember her not only for her lifelong fight for justice, but also for her kindness, humor, and the way she made everyone feel seen.
Over her 96 years, Mrs. Kennedy was a ceaseless champion for justice—marching, protesting, lobbying and confronting, raising funds, calling for the release of unjustly imprisoned human rights defenders, and sitting with victims, compassionately listening, readying to take their stories to the world.
She had a way of making everyone feel valued, whether she was in a room full of world leaders or sitting around her dining table.
In her own words, “There was always room for one more.” Though we miss her dearly, she continues to inspire us as we carry forward Senator Kennedy’s and now, her legacy, for a more just and peaceful world.
Consider making a gift in her memory to support the work that was so close to her heart.
“For anyone to achieve something, he must show a little courage. You’re only on this earth once. You must give it all you’ve got.”
– Ethel Kennedy
