As we mourn the death of a trailblazer, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the impact she has had.
I'm sure none of you need a recap of her career, so I'll keep this short. Taking the position of Supreme Court Justice in 1993, Justice Ginsberg was only the second woman to hold a seat. She was one of 9 women in her Harvard Law class, she was a proud Jewish woman, and she was a woman living in American society. So, she had experienced her share of hardship and discrimination. She championed gender equality, and she served with dignity. She diligently fought to ensure a safer future for everyone, and she has forever solidified her legacy as a pioneer for true equality in America. While we honor her legacy, we must recognize that this is just another indicator of how important November 3rd is for women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ community, and all other oppressed groups in this country. LeadHERship is nonpartisan, but where women's rights are concerned, I have no qualms saying that it is and always has been extremely clear who the right candidate is in this election. Vote like your life depends on it, because even if yours doesn't, many others do.
