Some people call me a “liberal,” others a “conservative,” others an “independent.” I don’t find these labels useful, but if I had to label myself, I’d say I am a classical liberal.

Classical liberals stand for health and human rights, the environment, peace, transparency, and the Constitution. We believe in open, civil debate, and that elected officials should represent ALL Americans, not just their own party.

I don’t care what you call me. These are the values I believe in.

I have about six months left to make sure Americans know what I believe and that there is a third option come Election Day. As an independent candidate, I’ve alienated all the largest corporate donors – so I’m relying on small contributions from people like you.

Our next FEC filing deadline is around the corner, on April 30th. With your help, a strong filing will allow us to break the two-party stranglehold and reach every American.

I have a plan that will lock home loans in at 3% interest for first-time homebuyers, lowering your mortgage payments by $1,000 a month—and it won’t cost the government a cent. Check it out.

It’s less about Biden’s age and more about his public gaffes and his unwillingness to publicly debate and have unscripted conversations with voters. Even his scripted interviews are scary for people to watch.

Do you honestly feel good about President Biden’s ability to answer the phone at 3am and make a judgment call about, say, a matter of national security?

Thanks, @NewsNation, for the conversation.

Team Kennedy attends the National College Resources Foundation’s Black College Expo in Los Angeles, CA, to hear the voices of the youth.

It was an honor to gather in Los Angeles last month on César Chávez Day to celebrate Chávez’s legacy as a civil rights and labor activist. I was lucky to know César well and will forever be inspired by his legendary efforts and victories in the fight for farmworkers’ and voters’ rights. He was truly a hero of his time.

Hello from the Detroit River, everyone. Unfortunately, like many municipal water supplies, the Detroit River isn’t clean. It’s time we restored Americans’ basic right to water that is safe to drink, safe to eat fish from, and safe for nature lovers and sportspeople to enjoy with their families.

My stance on the Second Amendment is simple: I’m not going to take anyone’s guns away. I believe in the Constitution. But Americans need to work together to figure out why we have mass shootings every 21 hours. Something changed around the time of the Columbine shootings in 1999, and it wasn’t the number of guns in America. The National Institutes of Health refuses to investigate the mystery; in fact, Congress prohibits the NIH from researching the cause of mass shootings. Under my administration, that rule ends — and our kids’ safety becomes a top priority.

Thank you, @glennbeck, for the conversation.

Legalizing marijuana won’t just get people out of jail and back to work — it can actually help solve America’s drug addiction problem.

Why didn’t I choose a political insider to be my VP? Because insiders are the people who gave us the biggest problems our nation faces today: $34 trillion in debt, the chronic disease epidemic, the corporate control of our industries, and much more. My running mate Nicole Shanahan is a smart, critical thinker with an outsider’s perspective and expertise – exactly the sort of leadership our country needs right now.

Thanks @NewsNation @chriscuomo for having me on.

A clip from my 2011 appearance on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert, in which I spoke about mountaintop removal and the coal industry’s illegal and destructive practices in Appalachia.

Over a decade later, mountaintop removal caused by coal mining has flattened more than 1 million acres and 500 mountains in the region, and buried thousands of miles of vital Appalachian headwater streams while poisoning many more.

We’re still buzzing from my running mate Nicole Shanahan’s amazing speech in Oakland last month and the new energy she’s brought to our campaign.

We’re here to radically change the political conversation and to put issues on the map that both parties have neglected. While about one in 5 voters already supports us, to get on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and take the White House, we need financial support.

The April 30th FEC deadline is around the corner, and your contribution today means more than ever.

This is what canvassing looks like.

When I met Renee and Lorraine at an event in Brooklyn last year, I had no idea they’d become such fierce campaign supporters, canvassing on my behalf. The window for collecting signatures to get on New York’s ballot opens tomorrow, and it’s because of passionate people like Renee and Lorraine knocking on doors and spreading the word about my presidency that we will secure ballot access in New York – and every other state.

Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters out there doing the hard (but fun!) work hitting the streets on behalf of our campaign. I could not do this without you!

What if we overcame our separation from nature? What if we saw ourselves as a part of all things? What if we fostered a deeper connection with the divine?

Born to a political family, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the nephew of America’s 35th President, John F. Kennedy, and the son of his Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Both of them lost their lives to the assassin’s bullet: JFK in 1963, and RFK, Sr. in the midst of his 1968 Presidential campaign.

Rather than enter politics himself, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. carried on his family’s legacy of public service by devoting himself to environmental causes and children’s welfare. He is the founder of the Waterkeeper Alliance — the world’s largest clean water advocacy group — and served as its longtime chairman and attorney. He then went on to found Children’s Health Defense, a mass membership organization where he served as chairman and chief litigation counsel in its campaign to address childhood chronic disease and toxic exposures.

Kennedy’s reputation as a resolute defender of the environment and children’s health stems from hundreds of successful legal actions. TIME Magazine named Kennedy its “Hero for the Planet” for his leadership in the fight to restore the Hudson River. This achievement helped spawn more than 300 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe. The New York City watershed agreement, which he negotiated on behalf of environmentalists and New York City watershed consumers, is regarded as an international model in stakeholder consensus negotiations and sustainable development.

Kennedy has enjoyed legal victories in many milestone environmental battles over the past four decades in Latin America, Canada, and the United States. Most recently, Kennedy was on the trial team in the landmark victories against Monsanto in 2018, and against DuPont in 2019 in the contamination case that inspired the movie “Dark Waters.” In addition to his environmental work, he has represented Indigenous groups asserting legal and treaty rights across Latin America and Canada.

Kennedy is also an award-winning writer whose articles have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, The Nation, Outside Magazine, the Village Voice, and many others. Among his published books are two New York Times’ bestsellers: “Crimes Against Nature” (2005) and “The Real Anthony Fauci” (2021). His highly reviewed biography is American Values: Lessons I Learned from My Family. Kennedy is the author of two children’s books on American history and a third on Saint Francis of Assisi.

After graduating from Harvard University, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. studied at the London School of Economics and received his law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. He then attended Pace University School of Law, which awarded him a Master’s Degree in Environmental Law. He served on the Pace Law School faculty from 1986 to 2018 and cofounded and supervised Pace's Environmental Litigation Clinic.

Kennedy was born on January 17, 1954, in Washington, DC, and is the third of 11 children of the late Sen. Robert Kennedy and Ethel Skakel Kennedy, who recently celebrated her 95th birthday.

Kennedy is married to Cheryl Hines, a noted actress. The couple has seven children, including Kennedy’s six children from two previous marriages.
