I became a lawyer because my family had been plaintiffs in a groundbreaking school desegregation case. But I became a women's rights lawyer because of Justice Ginsburg. (1/5)
She paved the way for women lawyers like the ones at @NWLC, like the ones that founded the Law Center 48 years ago, and like the ones here today.
RBG laid the path for so many of us. She created meaning and protections in the constitution when it hadn't yet recognized sex discrimination protections. And she did it at a time when there were so few women lawyers.
She stood against the extremist approaches on so much on — discrimination, reproductive freedom, voting rights and more. RBG believed in using the law for justice — and so do I.
Just as she inspired me to fight back then, her legacy inspires us to keep fighting now. We must do right by her. For ourselves, for each other — for justice.
