And a resolution honoring the life and legacy of united states supreme court justice, ruth bader ginsburg for her instrumental legal career service to the united states of america and her relentless work to challenge gender discrimination and ensure equal protections for all americans. She recognized councilman john.

B

Thank you so much council president and first I want to thank all of my colleagues who all supported this resolution. It's amazing and it bears witness to the kind of woman and leader justice ruth bader ginsburg was, as was running, the resolution.

B

Justice ginsburg was known for her notable friendships in the supreme court with her more conservative colleagues, she valued friendship over politics, which is something I wish were more common today, especially right now, justice ginsburg lived a life of persistence.

B

She never gave up fighting and champion laws for gender equality, race, equality, equality for sexual orientation and much more. She wanted to live in a country where people were valued equally and her life's work always led her back to that basic mission.

B

Justice ginsburg died last friday, as jews across america were ushering in the jewish holiday rosh hashanah the jewish new year. Jewish teaching says that those who die just before rosh hashanah are the ones god has held back until the last moment, because they were needed the most and were the most righteous exotic in the hebrew language.

B

I share in the sadness of everyone here for the loss of such an enduring leader and at such a tumultuous time in our country, but the more we tell her story, the more we can hope others will follow in her footsteps.

B

I hope philadelphians and communities everywhere will take the time to learn more about justice ginsburg and continue to tell her story. She is truly someone to cherish in our nation's history. So thank you again to all of you, my colleagues for your support and honoring supreme court justice, ruth bader ginsburg, and to the viewing public watch rbg.
