John,
Today marks one year since the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
We remember today what her loss signified – and how it continues to impact our feminist movement, the Supreme Court, and the trajectory of our country.
In the wake of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing, thousands of Women’s Marchers gathered across the country in their communities to honor the life and legacy of the notorious RBG. Together, we showed the world that this movement is more committed and fired up than ever to carry on the fight for justice and equality that RBG led for so long.
However, it became immediately clear on that very same day that there were immense challenges ahead of us.
While our movement mourned her loss, Republicans went straight to work.
Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and their cronies didn’t even wait an hour before they made the announcement that they would rush another ultra-conservative Justice onto the Supreme Court and dishonor RBG’s dying wish for the 2020 presidential election winner to choose her replacement. Soon afterwards, Trump officially nominated Amy Coney Barrett and rushed her confirmation in an effort to enact an ultra-conservative majority on our Supreme Court before the election.
So our movement went straight to work to plan a nationwide mobilization before the election to inspire the women-led coalition we needed to win.
Together, we sent a loud message that women were ready to put an end to Trump’s administration, and we harnessed our collective power to mobilize a record number of women before the election. And we won.
Now, we are called again to rally on October 2 to resist against the most dire attacks on abortion access and our reproductive rights we’ve seen in our lifetimes.
These past years have taught us that there’s nothing more powerful — and nothing more unstoppable — than women organizing together for justice and equity.
If you’re ready to rise up with our coalition in this work, we hope you can show your support today by donating $3 or anything you can to fund our upcoming Rally for Abortion Justice on October 2.
Justice Ginsburg brought the work as far as she could. Now it’s time for us to band together and fight for ourselves and for our collective future.
We can do this.
Rachel and the Women’s March Team
