Press release from the Office of the Brooklyn Borough President:

September 18 2020

“Our country has lost a legal giant and a trailblazer in Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A daughter of Brooklyn, Justice Ginsburg spent her life tirelessly advocating for the rights of the vulnerable and marginalized in our society, from women to the LGBTQ+ community. She rightly gained an international profile and the playful moniker of ‘The Notorious RBG’ because of the moral force of her words and her vision for a fairer, more just society. We owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude, and send our love and prayers to her family and all those devastated by this loss.”
