he Democratic Party has had many causes, and called them by many names: the New Freedom of Wilson; the New Deal of Roosevelt; the Fair Deal of Truman; the New Frontier; the Great Society. But all of these programs have had at their heart an active commitment to individual liberty and individual freedom.

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.
