Ruth Bader Ginsburg always fought for justice and a better vision for our nation. She was a champion of equality for all. RBG served with courage, grace & an unshakeable moral compass. She leaves the US a more fair & just nation.
We must strive to build upon her enduring legacy. https://t.co/Au5dYX0u19

“As women achieve power, the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things + we’ll all be better off for it.”
We’re all better because of your reign. Thank you, Justice Ginsburg.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a trailblazer and a champion for women’s equality. Our country is stronger and more just because of her life’s work.
I join all Americans in mourning the loss of this giant who helped move our country toward a more perfect union. May she rest in peace.
— Sen. Maggie Hassan (@SenatorHassan) September 19, 2020
She would not want us to mourn. We are gutted, but RBG would not have given up, and neither should we. We must continue to fight and look for decency and humanity in each other and in just 4 Republicans with consciences. We must fight for our rights as she did. #RIPRBG pic.twitter.com/5tQs0oNXkE

Rest Peacefully, Justice Ginsburg there are not enough words to express what a giant you were in the eyes of so many women (and men who stood alongside of you as allies) in your journey toward equality. You most certainly left this world a better place for the work you’ve done.

Heartbroken. I’ll never have the right words to express what Ruth Bader Ginsburg has meant to women of ambition, and I wish we could celebrate her life and work without fear of what’s next for our country. But. I’m resolved to hold up a little corner of her banner and keep going. pic.twitter.com/lZfmodbKSS
