Kerry Kennedy

(2/2) Thank you, Councilor Caterina Biti, the President of District 1, Mirco Rufilli, U.S. Consul General Daniela Ballard, RFK Human Rights Italia, and RFK Italia’s Secretary General, Federico Moro, and Vice President, Donato Tramuto.

(1/2) What an honor to have the city of Florence dedicate a garden in honor of my father's legacy on his centennial birthday. I hope this garden will inspire people to gather, reflect, and recommit to building a world Daddy dreamed of: one of peace, unity, and moral courage.

(2/2) My thanks to RFK Italia, Poste Italiane for distributing the stamp, and to Harry Benson for the beautiful photo of Daddy. I’m so grateful for this tribute and for all who continue to carry my father's legacy forward.

(1/2) I’m honored to share that the Italian Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy has issued a national stamp in honor of my father. This is the first time in history that Italy has dedicated a stamp to an American.

(3/3) Daddy saw the goodness in people, even when the world felt dark. Because of his example, I grew up believing that public service was something you wanted to do. It wasn’t a burden or an obligation. It was what made life meaningful. Miss you Daddy. Happy heavenly birthday.

(2/3) One of my earliest memories of Daddy is learning how to tie my shoes. If I put my left shoe on first, he taught me to tie my right shoe first, because it was important that things always be fair.

(1/3) Happy Birthday Daddy. My father would have turned 100 today. He was a compassionate leader who had deep faith and a passion for justice. But above all, he was a loving husband and father.

(1/2) Today, Senator Kennedy, our namesake and hero, would have turned 100. His legacy continues to live on in our work and in the countless lives he touched. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Senator Kennedy.

(2/2) In 1968, when asked how he’d like to be remembered, Sen. Kennedy quoted Camus: “Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.” He added, “I’d like to feel I’d done something to lessen the suffering.”

(2/2) Fifty years later, my brother Christopher climbed the same peak with Jim Whittaker's son. This film is about that story. Watch the full film ⬇️.

(1/2) After President Kennedy died, the Canadians named their highest unclaimed peak Mount Kennedy. As a tribute to his brother, my father became the first person to climb that peak. He did so with the first American to climb Mount Everest, Jim Whittaker.

(2/2) Chris’s book is a moving tribute to my father, who would have turned 100 next week. Daddy’s belief in justice and compassion reminds us that moral courage can still unite a fractured nation. Chris captures that spirit beautifully & I can’t wait to explore these “lessons from Bobby” w/ him ⬇️.

Savane v. Francis: Fighting arbitrary re-detention of asylum seekers - Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Federal court holds that ICE violated due process by detaining asylum seeker it had previously released on parole without first giving written notice.

(4/5) In Savane v. Francis, we freed a 22-year-old asylum seeker arrested without any notice of the reason why and locked in detention for months in violation of the Constitution, reinforcing that ICE can’t detain people indefinitely without justification.

Ventura Martinez v. Trump: Stopping the expansion of mandatory detention - Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights This case before the 5th Circuit defends a lower court decision holding that mandatory detention for arriving non-citizens does not apply to a long-time resident of the U.S.

(3/5) In Ventura Martinez v. Trump, we freed a longtime Maryland resident and pillar of his community from detention, stopping the government from applying a new sweeping interpretation of law that would expand mandatory detention to millions of people.

N.N. v. McShane: Fighting ICE surveillance - Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights This case challenges ICE surveillance of people with electronic tracking in defiance of a judge’s order that they be released from immigration detention on bond without any further conditions.

(2/5) In N.N. v. McShane, we successfully challenged ICE’s unlawful use of GPS ankle monitoring in defiance of a judge’s order of release from immigration detention on bond without any further conditions.

Nonprofits Urge ICE to End Detention of Pregnant People Following Reports of Abuse and Medical Neglect  - Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Letter to ICE leadership details shackling, solitary confinement, and a miscarriage without care in Louisiana and Georgia facilities.

(3/3) We wrote a letter to ICE leadership detailing this horrific abuse and urging them to comply with federal regulations and ICE’s own policies. Help spread the word and read our letter ⬇️.

(2/3) One woman delivered a stillborn baby, alone, in the bathroom of her housing unit, after staff ignored her pleas for help. Another suffered a dangerous infection after a miscarriage due to ICE’s medical neglect. And the list goes on.

(1/3) Deplorable. ICE is detaining pregnant people, even after they inform the officers of their pregnancy, in violation of agency guidance and federal regulations.
