Speech at the Democratic State Committee Dinner, Columbus, Ohio

Only if we ourselves lessen the role and importance of nuclear weapons can we expect other, weaker nations to do the same; and only if nuclear weapons do become less important can we hope, in the long run, that others, no matter what treaties we reach, will refrain from making or acquiring them.

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.
