Like so many of you, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death left me stunned and deeply saddened. She was a force of a justice and a woman -- someone who was relentless in her pursuit of justice and grounded by her sense of right. She led a life striving towards making our country a better and fairer place up until her last breath. 

Her death also left me scared. Scared because I know that this administration will choose short-term political gain over precedent, political process, and a sense of right. And that decision could alter our lives and freedoms for generations.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived her entire life in search of the good -- for all Americans. Now, it's our time to continue her path and make this election a referendum on what's right.

That's why I'm encouraging you: vote, vote, vote. This is your opportunity to make your voice heard. If you need convincing, just look at how much has happened in these past four years.

And, if you can, sign up to volunteer! Yes, we would love for you to volunteer for our campaign (and you can do so here!), but if you can't volunteer for us, volunteer for another campaign.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg irreversibly changed our country. The opinions she wrote will impact our grandchildren's grandchildren.

But, we too have the chance to direct our country's future for generations -- just as she did. That's why I'm begging you not to give up this opportunity.

Please do whatever you can to make our country a better place before November 3rd. None of us wants to wake up on November 4th and regret not doing more. You really can make a difference, and together, we will get it done.

Thank you!
