Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has a passionate desire for a sustainable future. The economic, the political, and the personal worlds are all part of this evolving vision. So too, is our spiritual life. Kennedy views the corporate assault on the environment as "a moral assault on future generations." And he has worked tirelessly to defend and preserve the common ecological birthright of our children.

In the 1990s, Kennedy helped lead the fight to turn back the anti-environmental legislation during the 104th Congress. The New York 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. Currently, he acts as Chief Prosecuting Attorney for Riverkeepers, Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, and is President of the Waterkeeper Alliance. In addition to work on environmental issues across the continent, Kennedy has assisted several indigenous tribes in Latin America and Canada in successfully negotiating treaties protecting traditional homelands.

Massachusetts Supreme Court to hear gay marriage challenge

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts will hear a challenge to a 1913 state law that Massachusetts has used to block out-of-state gay couples from being married there. The 1913 law prohibits the commonwealth from granting marriage licenses to couples whose marriage would not be legal in their home states. Following the landmark ruling in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health which legalized gay marriage, state officials have ordered city clerks not to give licenses to same-sex couples from other states. Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders (GLAD) and 13 town clerks brought an action arguing the law is discriminatory and has been selectively enforced to deny out-of-state couples their rights. A trial court rejected this contention, saying the law does not discriminate because it applies equally to both straight and gay couples. However, in a rare move, the Supreme Court took control of the case, bypassing the state appeals courts, and will hear oral arguments in September.
