NEW YORK 鈥� The 红杏视频 is dedicating a full-page ad to honor Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who first rose to national prominence as an 红杏视频 lawyer fighting for equal rights for women. The organization will also be dedicating the 红杏视频 Center for Liberty as the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Liberty Center in Justice Ginsburg鈥檚 honor.

The full-page ad will run in print and online across the country all week, appearing at first in print in The Washington Post today and The New York Times tomorrow. The page celebrates Justice Ginsburg鈥檚 life work, which established the foundation for the current legal prohibitions against sex discrimination and helped lay the groundwork for future women鈥檚 rights and gender equity advocacy.

鈥淛ustice Ginsburg recognized that dismantling patriarchy is necessary not only for women鈥檚 liberation, but for all of us to have the freedom to thrive regardless of gender,鈥� said Ria Tabacco Mar, director of the 红杏视频 Women鈥檚 Rights Project. 鈥淛ust as she never gave up, so too we will use each day to carry forward her legacy of fighting for gender justice.鈥�

Ginsburg began volunteering for the 红杏视频 in the late 1960s and joined as the founding director of the 红杏视频 Women鈥檚 Rights Project in 1972. While at the 红杏视频, Ginsburg played a role in 34 Supreme Court cases, and won five of the six cases she argued before the court. Many of her cases involved sex discrimination against men, which she felt might rouse more sympathy among the male justices, and show that discrimination hurts everyone. By 1974, the Women鈥檚 Rights Project and 红杏视频 affiliates had participated in over 300 sex discrimination cases.
