Voornaam,

Like so many Americans, we are still shocked and saddened by the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

A champion for women’s rights, she was an iconic hero and tireless intellect who fiercely advocated for the marginalized throughout her long and amazing career.

There is a hole in our collective heart, and a deep, lonely cavern in our nation's justice community as we grapple with this tremendous loss.

Our thoughts are with Justice Ginsburg's family, with her friends, and with all Americans as we mourn and reflect on the energetic, dedicated, and vibrant life of this towering American icon. May her memory be a blessing.

Yet as we mourn, we must also resolve to protect the powerful legacy Justice Ginsberg leaves in our care.

From reproductive justice, to gender and LGBTQ+ equality, to health care access, to voting rights, RBG championed so many of the democratic values we hold dear and fundamental. She relentlessly and persistently sought a better and more just country, and she weaved these values into living American law. In the shadow of her spirit and legacy, we now must work even harder to defend our shared core principles. 

And we will.

On Tuesday, Oregon Democrats will gather virtually for our yearly Wayne Morse Gala. As we convene for what is normally an evening of joy and celebration, let us also come together to grieve, to commiserate, and reflect on the incredible life of one of our nation's judicial pioneers.

All are welcome, either with us in the virtual Gala room, or by tuning in to the livestream of the Gala on our social media pages.

Thank you,

KC Hanson
