Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue: A Life's Work Fighting for a More Perfect Union,  by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Amanda L. Tyler (University of California Press, March 16th 2021)

Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue is the result of a period of collaboration between Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Amanda L. Tyler, a Berkeley Law professor and former Ginsburg law clerk. During Justice Ginsburg's visit to Berkeley in the fall of 2019, she told her life story in conversation with Tyler. In this collection, the two bring together that conversation and other materials—many previously unpublished—that share details from Justice Ginsburg's family life and long career. Each document was chosen by Ginsburg and Tyler to tell the story of the litigation strategy and optimistic vision that were at the heart of Ginsburg's unwavering commitment to the achievement of "a more perfect Union."

Fab Five Biographies

In honor of the first anniversary of United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, this month's Fab Five biography round-up elevates five women who have or are serving on the United States Supreme Court bench.

If we want our girls to benefit from the courage and wisdom of the women before them, we have to share the stories.

Many of us are not sure how to counter racism when we witness it and don’t know what to say when people we know downplay or trivialize the hate, prejudice and discrimination that people of color experience in our country.

Being an ally in the struggle for racial justice and equity goes beyond simply not being racist. We hope this list of resources help to educate and motivate you to take action.
