Press Statement  AG Healey’s Statement on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Passing

BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey today issued the following statement on the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:

“What is there to say that hasn’t been already said about Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg? This loss is devastating not just because a brilliant trailblazing woman is gone, but because of everything she represents. For so many Americans, she was their freedom personified. Justice Ginsburg once said, ‘one lives not just for oneself, but for one’s community,’ and that’s how she lived her own life, dedicating much of her career to women’s rights, workers’ rights, civil rights, and justice under the law. We all owe this legal giant a debt of gratitude. May her memory be a blessing. Tomorrow we fight in her honor.”
