Organization

Prisoners’ Legal Services of New York

PLSNY’s mission is to provide high quality, effective legal representation and assistance to indigent prisoners, help them to secure their civil and human rights, and advocate for more humane prisons and for a more humane criminal justice system.

New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
