Friend,

The late Justice Ginsburg represented the very best of America -- throughout her remarkable and exemplary life, she never shied away from the challenge of making our country a more just and equal place. With patriotism, passion, and grace, Justice Ginsburg carved a new path for women in our country and played an instrumental role in guaranteeing so many freedoms that we all enjoy today. She was a pioneer and a hero to all of us who learned how to, and now hope to, lead by her example, especially in this very moment.

She will be deeply missed, but her memory and her legacy are a blessing. And today, even in the wake of this heartbreaking news, we must carry her torch and continue to fight just as she did until her dying breath. We must not despair, but rather meet this moment with the courage and determination that Justice Ginsburg embodied in life.

Like so many of you, I feel crushed by the weight of this immeasurable loss. But we must persevere, and we must follow Justice Ginsburg’s example by championing the rights of all Americans.

Let’s keep Justice Ginsburg’s spirit alive, and keep on fighting --

Ted
