The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a coalition of more than 240 national organizations fighting to protect, defend, and expand the rights of every person in the United States. Born out of the civil rights movement, for 75 years, The Leadership Conference has been an essential convener, thought leader, and advocate for public policies that make our country more fair and more free.

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.
