Mayor Lightfoot pays her respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg at downtown memorial service

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot attended a memorial for Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Saturday night at Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago.

“Devastated by the passing of RBG,” Lightfoot tweeted on Friday night. “She represented the finest among lawyers in our country. A giant in her advocacy for women’s rights, civil rights and respect for the rule of law. We must honor her legacy and all her contributions to American jurisprudence. Rest in power, RBG.”
