Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a true champion and trailblazer for justice & equality — and a great New Yorker.

She fought for progress in our country and our country is better for it.

It’s up to all of us to continue that fight.

The passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a tragedy for our nation. She was a pioneer, a fighter, and an inspiration. Her name and legacy will be celebrated for as long as America endures. May she Rest In Peace and may our thoughts be with her family and many friends.

US Chamber of Commerce

“As well as being a most highly regarded and respected leader on the Supreme Court, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a fearless trailblazer, advocate, and at times, dissenter. Through her life and service, she set the standard for civility and collegiality, exemplifying for all of us how people with strong views can conduct their business and their negotiations—with kindness, courtesy, commonsense, and great effect.”

“In so many ways, she embodied the greatest of American virtues and values, and the Supreme Court and our nation greatly benefited from her distinguished service and contributions. Her loss is staggering, but her legacy will continue to inspire generations of Americans.”
