International Petition Filed on Behalf of Stop Cop City Protester Killed by Police

“Part of what our petition seeks to do is to really vindicate Tortuguita’s memory, to really let the world know that this was a young person full of promise. This was a young person who was dedicated to care for their fellow human beings, and a young person who was going to make a difference had their life not been snuffed out so tragically.”

In this episode of Breaking Green, our VP of U.S. Advocacy & Litigation Anthony Enriquez discusses Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights’ recent efforts to secure an investigation into the police killing of U.S. environmental defender Manuel Esteban Páez Terán (known as “Tortuguita”).

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.
