Statement from Mayor Bowser on the Passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Friday, September 18, 2020

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser issued the following statement on the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

“We have lost a champion of justice, an icon and patriot, a woman who lived the concept of building a more perfect union. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought for us until the very end, and it is that fighting spirit – that we were fortunate as a nation to benefit from time and time again – that made us love, respect, and admire her. Tonight, we are heartbroken. We are grateful for one life lived so fiercely that it forever changed the lives of millions. We send our condolences to Justice Ginsburg’s family and loved ones and to a nation already in mourning, trying once again to fathom a monumental and devastating loss.”
