Center for Community Change Mourns Sen. Ted Kennedy
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sen. Kennedy believed in the best values of America: our notions of shared responsibility, shared sacrifice and the idea that every person has value and deserves respect. The Center has had no greater ally or inspiration in the work we do to organize America’s communities to bring people together to make a better a life for everyone.
“Today we mourn the death of Sen. Kennedy. The Center for Community Change was founded in memory of Sen. Kennedy’s brother, Robert F. Kennedy. For more than 50 years, Sen. Kennedy fought for America’s underprivileged: immigrants, the disabled, low-income and working people, the homeless, lesbians and gays, and people of color. Much of the progress we have made over the last half century toward equality would not have been possible without Sen. Kennedy’s unwavering commitment. Born in privilege, he had an uncanny empathy for all those who found themselves in need of assistance.
