Fifty seven years ago today, my father announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. “I cannot stand aside from the contest that will decide our nation’s future and our children’s future,” Daddy said.
I imagine he would be devastated and angry about what we are facing today. Issues and causes he fought hard for are being obliterated from the national lexicon. The protection of civic space, programs that strengthen society, and the rule of law, which he held sacred, are all on the chopping block.
This I know: He would take action. And he would implore us all to do the same.
At @RFKHumanRights, we cannot stand aside. And we will not back down. But we need your help. Every donation helps fuel the fight my father dedicated his life to—defending human rights, protecting democracy, and ensuring justice for all.
