At a Speak Truth to Power event at UFT headquarters in Manhattan, RFK Human Rights’ Kerry Kennedy brought together former leaders of war-torn Yugoslavia and actor activists Katie Erbe (“Law and Order”) and Trevor Donovan (“90210”) to share personal stories about standing up for what they believe in.

“Tolerance is very important, but tolerance is not enough,” said former Serbian President Boris Tadic. “We have to respect each other.”
