RFK Jr. 1.0.3

This application serves as a resource for citizens, providing articles and videos related to the independent presidential candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 election. Drawing inspiration from his family's legacy, RFK Jr. challenges perceived government corruption, which he associates with critical issues such as inflation, housing instability, and health crises.

With nearly four decades dedicated to exposing corporate and governmental misconduct, Bobby Kennedy has built an extensive record of legal advocacy. His tenure at RiverKeeper saw him successfully litigate against numerous municipalities to ensure adherence to the Clean Water Act. Notably, he achieved significant victories against major corporations, including General Electric for its toxic runoff and, more recently, ExxonMobil, which was ordered to remediate extensive oil spills in Brooklyn, NY.

Beyond environmental law, Kennedy has been an outspoken advocate on various national issues. He consistently opposed President Bush's decision to invade Iraq and raised concerns about the U.S. enhanced interrogation program at Guantanamo Bay. A staunch defender of labor rights, he demonstrated solidarity by participating in a hunger strike with the United Farm Workers and taking part in the funeral of civil rights leader Cesar Chavez. Kennedy has persistently advocated for economic justice, asserting that diligent workers deserve a decent quality of life.

Bobby's activism extends into public health, where he played a pivotal role in lobbying for the removal of mercury from many childhood vaccinations in the United States. His efforts have included calls for reinstating standard liability practices and placebo testing protocols for vaccine manufacturers. While pharmaceutical companies rank among the most heavily fined entities in America due to misconduct, they concurrently wield substantial political influence. Through his organization, Children’s Health Defense, Kennedy remains committed to addressing corruption within this sector.

An avid outdoorsman, master falconer, and white-water kayaking enthusiast, Bobby has also authored numerous books covering topics from environmental conservation to American public life, including literature for children on significant historical figures. In 2011, he founded EcoWatch, which has emerged as a prominent source of environmental news and served as an editor for Indian Country Today, the largest Indigenous newspaper in North America.
