Justice
We collaborate with local partners around the world to confront systematic abuses, often after all else has failed.
Our Programs
U.S. Justice
The U.S. Advocacy and Litigation program partners with grassroots human rights defenders to reduce the scope and power of mass incarceration in American society. Together, we fight for changes to the criminal and immigration systems that guarantee respect for everyone’s human rights.
TAKE ACTION
The new Continuing Resolution bill funnels $10 billion into ICE’s budget and strips away guardrails and oversight mechanisms, giving the Trump administration power to act with impunity. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives and is now in the hands of the Senate—act now to urge your elected officials to NOT approve billions more for detention and deportation.
International Justice
Women murdered with systematic impunity for their killers. Protesters surveilled and tortured by police. Journalists jailed for speaking truth to power. With authoritarianism on the rise, we collaborate with local partners around the world to confront widespread abuses, often after all else has failed.
Our supporters’ generosity makes our work possible.
At Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, we work with frontline advocates to hold governments accountable for human rights violations and to secure structural changes that ensure equality in law and practice. Give today to stand with us, and with the bravest human rights defenders in the world.
