Months after Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s death, she founded RFK Human Rights with friends and family to carry forth his unfinished work. Over her 96 years, she 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. 

Ethel’s extraordinary courage and dedication to human rights continue to motivate our team every day, inspiring us to hold governments accountable, promote human rights education and youth organizing, advance dignity and equity in workplaces and investment communities, and uplift grassroots changemakers. Consider making a gift in her memory to the Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Fund. You will be helping RFK Human Rights continue the work that was so close to her heart.
