“In CLUW, we honor the women on whose shoulders we stand by calling their name and commit to carrying on the work they started — women’s equality,” said Coalition of Labor Union Women president Elise Bryant after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Friday. “Today we call the name of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, first female tenured professor at Columbia Law School and the second woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. She was a trailblazer, a brilliant jurist and committed to justice for all. The best way to honor Ruth’s life is to make sure every woman eligible to vote is registered and that her vote in counted. We do this in loving memory of a life committed to ‘Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.’” AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Liz Shuler tweeted that Ginsburg “was a pioneer and inspiration to so many, especially women fighting for equality. In an era of so much hate and vitriol, her quiet brilliance was a beacon for us all.”
