Activists go out on a limb when they fight for social justice. Their children can be left out on a limb when these parents are targeted. The RFC is a community stepping out on that limb together, and enveloping vulnerable activist families in a network of support.


In the Out on a Limb Together blog, the RFC's Executive Director, Robert Meeropol, discusses matters of interest to the RFC community.

Part 1


Have you ever had an event trigger an understanding of something you thought you already knew, but apparently did not grasp fully?  That’s the way I felt on January 20th, the morning after Scott Brown’s victory in the Massachusetts special senatorial election on January 19th.  Then I had my face rubbed in it by the Supreme Court’s decision giving corporations even greater power over what is left of our feeble democratic process.

I’m writing this on Tuesday evening, January 19th, the day the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Mumia abu-Jamal that a lower court decision vacating his death sentence must be reconsidered by the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals.  While the decision is not a complete disaster, Mumia is one step closer tonight to having his death sentence reinstated.  This evening I’ve also learned the results of the special election to fill Edward Kennedy’s Senate seat in Massachusetts.

June 19th, 1953; Not all Bad?

I could easily fill up a book with the stories people have told me about the impact the events that took place on June 19th, 1953 had on their lives.  That was the day my parents were executed.  Most of the stories are sad, even tragic.  Others can make you very angry.  But there were also some good things that happened on that day.


I received the following note from a supporter yesterday:

A New Year Boost

One of the four questions often asked at a Seder is: “why is this night different from all other nights?”  I’ve adapted that question to the Rosenberg Fund for Children and ask:  “what makes the Rosenberg Fund for Children different from all other organizations?”


One way I’ve tried to make this organization stand out is by answering personally all notes and letters that are addressed to me by our constituency.  This is a daunting task because even in the email age, almost every day several of you drop me a line.
