.@Leahgreenb: "Her brilliant leadership in the battles for women's rights shaped the country that we grew up in. Her commitment as a Supreme Court Justice to gender & racial equity, to a just democracy, have been guiding lights for a movement of women in a dark & terrible time."

.@Leahgreenb: "It is going to echo for generations to come. Because we are going to carry it forward. We know what’s at stake. Justice Ginsburg’s dying wish was that her seat not be filled until after the next president takes office."

.@Leahgreenb: "...the basic tenets of our democracy, so much is under threat. Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought all her life for the fundamental values that we all hold dear - justice, equality, democracy."

.@Leahgreenb: "Now we fight for her, to ensure that the values she fought for are carried on in the next Justice to hold her seat. May her memory be a blessing. May her legacy be a just democracy for all of us."
