RBG's legacy Monday, September 21, 2020 "Taking a stand for what you believe in... by Kelly Dietrich (NDTC) This weekend I spent a good amount of time reflecting on the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I’m sure you did as well. Her legacy of work changed our nation for the better and will continue to do so for lifetimes to come. But the impact of her work reverberates far past her brave, thoughtful, and landmark decisions on the Supreme Court. She serves as a symbol for taking a stand for what you believe in, even if it’s not popular. For being brave and bold enough to believe you can create change, even when faced with tremendous odds. For having the endurance to keep fighting, even when it’s hard or uncomfortable. She became known as “The Great Dissenter” because she stood up and stood strong for what she knew was right. You Are Your Community’s Great Dissenter You are the “Great Dissenter” of your community. You stood up to fight for what you know is right. Whether that be by running for office, working on a Democratic campaign, or supporting candidates, policy, and the Democratic infrastructure of your local area, it is up to each of us to pay tribute to the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in this way. We have the power to stand up and continue to stand up for what we know is right. We have the ability to come together to support a better future for our communities. We have the responsibility to make Justice Ginsburg proud. “Knitting a Sweater” Ginsburg was known to say fighting gender discrimination was like “knitting a sweater.” And that is what all of us are doing right now, collectively. For each of the issues we believe in. And for the America we want to create. Stitch by stitch, from city council and school board to state senate and U.S House. From local activism to national movements. Together, we are knitting the sweater of our future. So as you reflect on Justice Ginsburg and how she has inspired you, your career, and your impact on the world, remember that each of us are an important stitch of the sweater she worked to knit. With 43 days until the election, the best tribute we can give her is to wake up every morning and keep knitting. Thank you for all your work now and in the future. Thank you for fighting every day to make our communities better. Thank you for doing the hard work that would make Justice Ginsburg proud.

Have you ever noticed what happens to the “blue banner at the top” when you scroll up and down our edcdems.org, web site? You know, the blue banner that stretches across the top, and has four little icons. They are our four communication tools. The first icon you see is a phone, with our virtual office phone number (916) 312-3008. The next icon you see is an envelope for direct email access. This is followed by the facebook icon, and lastly the blue twitter bird icon. The blue banner is the only part of our web site that is always visible, patiently waiting for us to call, email, facetime, or twitter! So the question is, “Who are you going to call?” Starting this month, Monday through Thursday, 10:00am-2:00pm, we now have seasoned El Dorado County Democrat Volunteers answering our virtual office phone. Our seasoned volunteers are able to help callers at the time they call, thereby meeting their needs at that time, avoiding the need for a message being left.
