“With the passing of the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Baltimore Women United’s intention to uplift women and women’s priorities becomes only more fiercely defined. The rights that matter most to women are at risk if the current administration is permitted to rush through a nominee to the Supreme Court. We will honor RBG by using the full might of our advocacy and the voices of the women of Baltimore to fight against dishonest practices of the current administration and for a Supreme Court justice who will not just pay tribute to the legacy of Justice Ginsburg, but will propel that legacy to expand rights for all Americans.
“If you are mourning the death of our heroine, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, if you are ready to fight for her last wish – to ‘not be replaced until a new president is installed,’ if you long for the comfort and power of a community of women in Baltimore, please join Baltimore Women United and many partner organizations at a vigil and rally on Tuesday evening. Details to come.”
