We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a champion of civil rights, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ rights.
Her ability to work so passionately and tirelessly resulted in profound legislative advances that many of us never thought we would see in our lifetimes.

May her memory be a blessing.
