Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights supports youth reentry projects because my father cared deeply about children and young people involved in the juvenile justice system, part of his focus while serving as attorney general.
We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.
Every day, children who are U.S. citizens are separated from their families as a result of immigration policies that need fixing.
Millions of children all over the world live in silence and face communication barriers - and, particularly, access to education.
The last thing our children need is less protection.
Standing in support of children is something we should all be able to get behind, regardless of party affiliation.
As parents, we must value the decisions of our kids even though they are young. If they say no to something even if we force them, we must respect their decision.
The move towards the extension of personhood to children is already underway, and is utterly, completely and totally unstoppable!
Teach the child to respect that which is not respectable and you teach the child the first requirement of slavery: submission to unjust authority. Children are persons. They are small persons whose perfect souls have not yet been ground through the meat grinder of slavery.
My father believed young people are among our nation's most valuable resources, and so we should ensure that every child - including children and youth returning from the justice system - have access to the opportunities we would want for our own children.
