A year after Justice Ginsburg’s death, we’re fighting for her legacy and sharing how she changed our lives for the better.
Will you join us?

John,
A year ago this week, our nation experienced a tremendous loss when Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died.
Justice Ginsburg fought to preserve and protect reproductive freedom and abortion rights until her dying day. But the truth is, she shouldn’t have had to. The fate of a life-saving right that millions of people count on should never have had to rest on one woman’s shoulders.
But we can honor Justice Ginsburg’s legacy by fighting for a Supreme Court that protects our human rights and represents all of us — not just the interests of extremist conservative zealots and their donors.
So this week, I’m asking you to join me in a moment of reflection for someone who spent decades fighting for us. How has Justice Ginsburg inspired you in this fight?
Share your reflections now on what her legacy means to you.
I will never forget where I was when I heard the news that Justice Ginsburg died. I still carry the sense of dread this news brought on. Instead of being able to celebrate her awe-inspiring legacy, millions of us immediately began worrying about how Mitch McConnell and the Republicans would use this opportunity to complete their takeover of our judiciary by creating a supermajority of extremists on the Supreme Court — which they did.
Now, less than a year after Justice Ginsburg’s death, the Supreme Court has allowed Roe v. Wade to be effectively overturned. And the lack of action to prevent this or respond to this by the current Congress and administration has only emboldened this illegitimate Court.
If we are to have any hope of restoring our democracy or solving big national challenges like access to abortion care, climate change, racial justice, access to affordable health care, and economic inequality, we must take back the Court and rebalance our judiciary.
Share how Justice Ginsburg has inspired you to take action today.
Justice Ginsburg once said, “Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.”
Thank you for taking this step with us,
Sarah Lipton-Lubet
Executive Director, Take Back the Court
