In this episode, I take you along to a Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign stop and how I got the opportunity to steal a few minutes with him.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the son of former US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of President John F. Kennedy. His father was US Attorney General under John F. Kennedy and was assassinated while running for president in 1968. Robert Kennedy Jr. was raised steeped in the history of America.
Mr. Kennedy has a doctorate in law from the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in environmental law from Pace University. He served as the assistant district attorney of New York in 1983. He helped found Waterkeeper Alliance a global group that supports local environmental groups to protect their waters. In 2010 he was named “Hero of the Planet” by Time magazine for his work with Riverkeeper in the Hudson River. He has fought against polluting giants and the likes of Monsanto, helping to win a $289 million judgment against them. He joined protestors and the Sioux Nation at Standing Rock to protest the Dakota Access pipeline and continues to be an advocate for clean water and protecting communal lands.
