“Predatory cash bail is part and parcel of the institutionalized anti-Black racism that has plagued our country,” said Kerry Kennedy, President of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights. “This $1 million commitment from Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights and Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp will empower community-led bail funds and accelerate their crucial work freeing people caged in our local jails, but our funding alone will never be enough. Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights’ team of lawyers and advocates will work with local organizers to stop the aggressive policing and endless cycle of mass incarceration that have targeted poor and Black communities and move to end cash bail now.”

Kerry Kennedy, President of RFK Human Rights, will take part in a panel to discuss Bobby Kennedy's legacy, the urgent work to topple systemic injustice in the criminal justice system, and the work being done to shift investor perspectives and actions to create a more just economy and society. The virtual event will take place on Wednesday, June 24 at noon.

Kerry Kennedy, President of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, will be a featured speaker at an event titled "Gender Gap in Business, Labour Market and Society." The event is hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Italy and the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza.

“Expanding our board is an important step forward for Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights, allowing us to deepen our commitment to the vital work my father started more than 50 years ago,” said Kerry Kennedy, president of the organization. “The insight and leadership of these outstanding women will be invaluable in our fight for a more just and peaceful world.”
