People around the nation mourned the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 87, who died in September because of complications from pancreatic cancer. A fierce advocate for women’s rights and progressive causes, Ginsburg was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1993. She was the second woman to serve on the Court, and late in her life she became a cultural icon—nicknamed “the Notorious R.B.G.” by fans. A heated battle over Ginsburg’s replacement began immediately after her death, with President Donald Trump vowing to fill her seat quickly despite demands from Democrats that whoever wins the November presidential election should get to make the appointment. But no matter what happens, many Americans say that Ginsburg will continue to inspire them to fight for equality and justice. “We want to honor her and we want to memorialize her,” says Kerry Warren-Couch, who planned a vigil in Belleville, Illinois. “We also want to demonstrate to other people that we will not let her legacy die.” For more details on Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the future of the Supreme Court, visit upfrontmagazine.com.
