President of @kennedyhrc.bsky.social, lawyer and activist. Bestselling author, progressive Catholic, and lifelong feminist. Proud mom of three mighty women.
@kerrykennedy.bsky.socialEvery human being is a child of God. Every human being is born with dignity. Pete Hegseth’s plan to execute a man by firing squad and broadcast the unspeakable brutality degrades us all.

@kennedyhrc.bsky.socialReposted by @kerrykennedy.bsky.social2/ This was one of many times Kerry has stood alongside farmworkers. She has marched with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida, rallied for farmworkers’ rights in New York, and helped build support for the New York Farmworkers Fair Labor Practices Act, which became law in 2019.
@kennedyhrc.bsky.socialReposted by @kerrykennedy.bsky.social3/ Standing with workers and demanding justice has been at the heart of Kerry’s work for decades. As we enter Kerry’s final months as our President, we’ll be looking back at the people and places that have shaped her extraordinary legacy.

@kerrykennedy.bsky.social2/ After decades of leading @kennedyhrc.bsky.social, I’ve decided it is time for a new chapter. Stepping down will allow me to devote more time to my faith, while continuing to support the work and mission I believe in so deeply.
The work continues. ❤️
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social1/ Human rights work has been my life’s work. It has shaped who I am, introduced me to some of the most courageous people I have ever known, and given me a profound sense of purpose. I’m so very grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey.
@kennedyhrc.bsky.socialReposted by @kerrykennedy.bsky.socialMeet @hincapie.bsky.social, our incoming President.
From Medellín to the front lines of the fight for immigrant justice and democracy, Marielena has spent more than two decades turning her lived experience into a force for change.
We can’t wait for you to get to know her!
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social3/ As I step into this next chapter, I will remain on the Board of KHRC and serve as President Emeritus. The future of the human rights movement is in extraordinary hands. Congratulations, Marielena! Onward! More information ⬇️.
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social2/ My parents taught me to respect the dignity of every human being. That is the ethos behind our work at Kennedy Human Rights. I’m deeply grateful for everything we’ve built together and for the human rights defenders whose courage has continued to inspire me every step of the way.
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social1/ I’m thrilled and honored to announce that the brilliant @hincapie.bsky.social is the incoming President of @kennedyhrc.bsky.social.
An immigrant from Medellín, Colombia, and the daughter of factory workers, Marielena has spent her career fighting for immigrant rights, equity, and democracy.

@kerrykennedy.bsky.socialHappy heavenly birthday to my best friend, Mary. I miss you every day.
@kerrykennedy.bsky.socialAll the more relevant today. Thank you team for highlighting this trip!
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social3/ Enforced disappearances like this violate international law. That’s why @kennedyhrc.bsky.social joined 30+ organizations in petitioning the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances to intervene.

@kerrykennedy.bsky.social2/ When ICE removes someone from the detainee locator, they don’t just disappear from the database. They actually disappear themselves. And once they disappear, so does their access to their families, their attorneys, the courts, and the due process they’re entitled to.
@kerrykennedy.bsky.social1/ “I almost had a heart attack... The darkest thoughts imaginable went through my mind as to what my mother could be going through.” That is how one man described the terror of discovering that his elderly, disabled mother had disappeared from ICE’s online detainee locator.
@kennedyhrc.bsky.socialReposted by @kerrykennedy.bsky.social1/ ICE has placed more than 50,000 people on 24/7 surveillance since June 2025, when it quietly adopted a new rule requiring GPS ankle shackling of people fighting deportation in immigration court, absent any evidence of flight risk. That’s why we filed a lawsuit to stop ICE in June 2026.
