"This news is devastating. Heartbreaking. What Ruth Bader Ginsburg did for women's rights and equality as a whole is heroic. We have lost one of our strongest and most influential voices. I am so proud to have called her a role model and someone who inspired me, along with countless others, to keep fighting for what is right. Her legacy will live on through us and our work. I am forever grateful for all that she did for this nation. May she rest in peace."
