Washington, D.C.

I think that the extremists of both the right and left can be identified by their inability or unwillingness to accept our system as the basic vehicle for social change, and their consequent lack of a program that we would call constructive.

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.
