Another way that RBG had an impact on the world was because “Ginsburg also directed the influential Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s. In this position, she led the fight against gender discrimination and successfully argued six landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court,” (Oyez). RBG was also part of the American Bar Foundation also known as the ABF. The ABF is a foundation that works exclusively with people who do legal work, those people include lawyers and people who work in law. Their main goal is to make the world a better place when it comes to making sure the world is diverse, and everybody is treated equally, also included and lastly making sure that everyone belongs (Mark Suchman). When RBG was part of the ABF she was on the board of directions, then she became an officer. This meant she was part of the board of secretary, along with becoming a Patron Fellow. The ABF says she is a major part of why the institute is what it is today and that she made a great contribution. The power that RBG brought to the table made the ABF inspired to continue her legacy. As the ABF stated, “It commemorates her legacy as a legal trailblazer by supporting significant and pathbreaking research and programming on civil rights and gender equality. This endowed fund is dedicated to preserving and upholding Justice Ginsburg’s legacy by championing scholarship that will engender a more fair, equitable, and just future,” (American Bar Foundation).
