Americans have donated $46 mil & counting through @actblue since RBG& #39;s passing.

It is worth noting that those of us who are female are able to make donations with credit cards in our own names only because of RBG& #39;s leadership of the @ACLU& #39;s Women& #39;s Rights Project.

Her strategy to undermine gender discrimination through the extension of the Equal Protection Clause to women in a series of cases litigated from the early to mid-1970s meant that I was born in the late 70s into a nation fundamentally better for women & girls.

When I think of what I might not have accomplished in my life without the work she did just before my birth, I am grateful. That credit card in my name represents a post-graduate education, a career, & financial independence I may not have had without her brilliant advocacy.

It is *just* a credit card but it represents resources, experiences, & opportunities women can only access because RBG & her colleagues convinced judges that our government should recognize female people as existing before the law independent of fathers & husbands.

Individually, those clicks on @actblue& #39;s webpage are small gestures, but collectively they represent the tremendous impact of RBG& #39;s vision as a feminist laywer. May those of us who benefited from her work use that power for good now & in the future.
