How do you mourn the loss of a great champion for justice like Ruth Bader Ginsburg? You mourn deeply & you vow to continue her work with even greater resolve. Her death must bring us to life.
No one who loved her work on voting rights, women’s rights, or corporate responsibility can stay home & not vote. We must renew our resolve to fight as she fought.
After the Supreme Court said in 1852 that a Black man has no rights a white man must respect, Frederick Douglass declared that, as monstrous as the decision was,
the movement has to remember that “all measures devised and executed with a view to ally & diminish the anti-slavery agitation, have only served to increase, intensify, and embolden that agitation.”
This might be the death that brings alive the full vote of this democracy, which could not only change the presidency but also the Senate. This might bring waffling undecided voters off of the sidelines.
If McConnell over reaches, I’m believing the people will over perform, and we could see an election like never before. RBG often quoted Justice Brandeis: “The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people.” May she Rest In Peace. We must rise with power!
