Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg passed away on Sept. 18 after numerous battles from cancer, yet she still was an active member of the Supreme Court to the end.
The following is a statement by Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune:
“Those of us who strive to make change for good in this world -- whether it be fighting for racial justice, reproductive rights, or for a livable future -- must continue the fight in her honor. With her wisdom and her commitment to equal rights under the law, Justice Ginsburg helped make real, enduring change for millions so often cast into the shadows.
“As we mourn the loss of Justice Ginsburg, we should reflect on her words that ‘Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.’“Justice Ginsburg’s legacy cannot be easily captured; the inspiration she provided, the equality she fought for, and the justice she delivered for millions will -- and must -- forever be preserved.”
