New York, NY

The tyranny of Communism is as old as the Pharaohs and the Pyramids—that the state stands above all men and their individual aspirations. And this is why we oppose it, because by force and subversion it seeks to impose its tyranny all around the world.

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.
