It is a somber day for our country. Like many of you, we are deeply saddened by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a true American icon: a role model and lasting source of inspiration for women and young people. A woman who will be remembered for her feistiness, her humor, and her tenacity in seeking justice for women, the LGBTQ community, and other marginalized groups. A woman who spent her life demonstrating the importance of raising our voices. She taught us that one can vehemently disagree and still do so with grace, respect and civility.
