The Department of Commerce represents businessmen; the Department of Agriculture represents farmers; the Department of Labor represents workers. In addition, these interests have found further strength through articulate, well-financed and effective lobbies.

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.
