Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The legendary Geto Boys rapper and songwriter William James Dennis (Willie D) graced our Austin, TX rally with his presence, adding an undeniable energy and passion to the event. Voices like his are crucial in our fight to reclaim our country, inspiring us all to stand firm in our beliefs. Willie D’s attendance highlighted a powerful moment of unity and strength for all of America, reminding us that together, we are unstoppable. His presence not only uplifted the crowd but also reinforced the importance of solidarity in our mission.

I think it’s important that presidential candidates take the time to speak to regular Americans without the mainstream media controlling the conversation. Last month, I joined TikTok creators for a virtual town hall about the TikTok Ban and our first amendment rights. Thank you to all the participants for your thoughtful questions. I hope everyone enjoys the Q & A clips we plan to release in the coming days. Some 170 million Americans use TikTok, and 78% of small businesses in the U.S. rely on the app for revenue. Now, the federal government plans to take that away. I support TikTok creators’ and users’ rights to free speech and the ambition to bring class action suits against the TikTok ban passed into law last April. The legal argument to ban TikTok hinges on the idea that the app is a threat to national security. Whether or not that’s true, Americans have the right to read or watch any outlet they like. The first amendment makes no exception for national security. Free speech is sacrosanct, and banning it is the first step on the slippery slope to totalitarianism. If Americans are genuinely worried about China’s influence, TikTok, which paid $5.3 billion in taxes in 2023, is an unlikely place to start. How about the offshoring of American jobs and our bioweapons programs to China, or China’s massive holdings in US debt and US farmland? If we’re really concerned about China’s influence, shouldn’t we be addressing those problems, not targeting an app used by half the country and co-owned by American investors? TikTok is a gateway for young entrepreneurs to start businesses at a time when many young people are saddled with debt or have little chance of owning their own home. Through TikTok, start-ups can get free publicity without a paid business account. The other social media giants like Google and Meta envision a pay-to-play platform for all verified businesses, and (legitimately) see TikTok as a threat. Taking away financial opportunities for young Americans and our core constitutional rights over fears of Chinese influence is a misguided strategy. Let’s overturn the TikTok ban by bringing the fight for free speech to the courts! LEARN MORE: kennedy24.com

Abortion has been a notoriously divisive issue in America, but actually I see an emerging consensus: that abortion should be legal up until a certain number of weeks, and restricted thereafter. Even in the reddest of red states, voters reject total abortion bans. And in blue states, almost no one supports third-trimester abortions except to save the life of the mother. And so I support the emerging consensus that abortion should be unrestricted up until a certain point. But I also believe that we can reduce more abortions in America by choice than by force. This is at the heart of the “More Choices, More Life” policy we’ve developed. Every abortion is a tragedy, and by better supporting mothers, parents, and families, we can dramatically reduce abortions across the board.

Surprisingly, CNN and Anderson Cooper did a great segment about disillusioned Trump and Biden supporters in Wisconsin who are voting for me this November.

In the past two weeks, we’ve learned two verdicts, one involving former President Trump and the other President Biden’s son Hunter. Many Americans are wondering: would these cases have been tried at all if we weren’t five months away from a presidential election? Elizabeth Vargas at News Nation asked what this says about the American justice system. My short answer: presidential elections shouldn’t be decided in the courtroom. I want a fair fight.

“They knew it – and they lied.” Joe Rogan weighs in on how Dr. Fauci and his public health officials colleagues deliberately misled the public about Covid’s origins and mandates during the pandemic.

Corporate capture hasn’t just infiltrated our governmental agencies – it’s crept into our legal system, too. In 2013, Steven Donziger, a brave human rights and environmental lawyer, helped Amazonian communities in Ecuador win a landmark $10 billion lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador’s Supreme Court. Chevron had been dumping billions of gallons of cancer-causing oil waste onto Amazonian ancestral lands, poisoning communities’ waters, and containmating one of the richest rainforests on the planet with toxins. Then, Chevron used its power to have Steven imprisoned and put under house arrest for almost three years. It was retaliation, pure and simple, and the nation’s first corporate prosecution of an attorney. It’s harrowing not only for Steven and his clients, but for everyone who believes in free speech and freedom from corporate control. This is how huge corporations and our country’s most powerful industries send a warning to any environmentalist or human rights attorney who may challenge them. When I’m president, I will give Steven Donziger the full presidential pardon he deserves. But Steve shouldn’t have to wait for justice. Help me pressure President Biden – who claims to be pro-environment – to pardon Steve now. SIGN THE PETITION NOW ➡️ https://www.kennedy24.com/donziger-petition

Three years ago, other dissidents and I told the public that Covid-19 likely originated in a lab leak. Public health officials, led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, said that our concerns were unscientific, that they were “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories.” Now, Congress, the mainstream media, and those same public health officials have cast doubt on Dr. Fauci’s actions, saying not only that he was wrong, but that he deliberately misled the public. When I am president, I won’t take advice from corrupt federal officials. And I will clean out the rat’s nest that is our federal agencies. DONATE NOW ➡️ kennedy24.com/donate

CALLING ALL BABY BOOMERS Do you remember how good we had it when we were kids? We Baby Boomers are the last generation to have grown up when the American dream was alive and well. The state of our country today is not the America I want to pass on to my children and grandchildren. And I doubt it’s the nation you want your kids to grow up in either. I’m running for president because I want to put our country back on the path toward peace, prosperity, and the promise of 1960s America. I invite you to attend a virtual Boomer town hall on Facebook on June 21st. And if you want to know more about me and my campaign policies, record and submit a video of yourself or a Baby Boomer you know asking me a question. I’ll respond to as many as I can. I look forward to hearing from you! SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO HERE BY JUNE 15 ➡️ kennedy24.com/boomers-for-kennedy

In response to my father’s assassination 56 years ago, Congress began offering Secret Service protection to all serious presidential candidates, even those without a party nomination. As Fox’s Niel Cavuto pointed out, I’ve requested protection five times, but despite the Secret Service’s evaluation that I am at elevated risk, President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has continued to deny me. Mayorkas has absolute discretion to make this decision. Why do you think he has singled me out as the first candidate since my dad’s death to be denied protection? Please sign this petition urging the Biden White House to reconsider this undemocratic decision and grant me Secret Service protection. https://www.kennedy24.com/security-petition #kennedyshanahan24 #rfkjr #kennedy24

At a recent rally in Denver, Theo Wilson, a Team Kennedy policy advisor, spoke about why being a part of an independent campaign is so refreshingly different from status quo politics. “There are things that Bobby and I disagree on.

My father, Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated 56 years ago today. The day he died, he won both the California primary and the South Dakota primary solidifying his insurgent candidacy as the Democratic nominee for president. Most on my heart today, as I consider the deep-seated divisiveness that plagues our nation, is the fact that my father succeeded in uniting America. I think he would be proud to know that I plan to do the same. #kennedyshanahan24

We’re facing a time in our history that is more vitriolic and more poisonous than any since the American Civil War. I’m here to talk about the issues that people care about – like the fact that the majority of Americans cannot afford a $1,000 emergency expense. Enough is enough.

Why am I running? Because I don’t like the way the country is going. And I know millions of Americans don’t either. They don’t like the addiction to wars, the censorship, the corporate capture of our government. They’re fed up with the duopoly’s failure to address the problems that deeply plague so many Americans. I’m fed up, too. And I’m in a unique position to unravel the harmful policies and strangleholds that have gotten the U.S. to this point. That’s why I’m running.
