On Jewish literature is a seal on which is the burning bush and the words in Hebrew, “And the Bush was not consumed.” So it must be today— for the more brightly the flame of discussion and debate burns in our nation, the more sure it is that the bush that is democracy will never be consumed.

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.
