Founded in the fall of 1990 by Robert Meeropol, the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, the RFC was his “constructive revenge,” a way to honor his parents and the progressive community which supported him and his brother as children, and transform the violence visited upon his family into a powerful positive force in the lives of other children who suffer when their parents face targeting for their progressive efforts.

30 years later, the RFC continues to carry forward the legacy of Ethel & Julius Rosenberg, providing for the emotional and educational needs of the children of targeted activists and young activists targeted for their own organizing. The Rosenberg Fund for Children provides the shelter of a supportive community for children whose parents are working for social justice, and -- as a direct result -- have lost their livelihood, their liberty, their physical or emotional well-being or even their lives in the course of that work.

To celebrate our 30 anniversary, the RFC has compiled a collection of materials commemorating the resilience of the RFC community and all that we have achieved, together.
