Remembering Bill Barry

Our love and prayers go out to the family of Bill Barry. For over 50 years, he was a courageous, kind, loyal and generous friend with a great sense of humility and humor. He served as a bodyguard to my father on his last campaign and was a treasured family friend. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. Photo by Bill Eppridge.

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.
