New Brooklyn political club named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg picks up steam
Centered on grass roots action, it attracts local leadership core
There’s a new Democratic political club in Brooklyn geared towards the civically engaged, and it bears the name of Brooklyn’s late feminist icon, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The club, which was born in Brooklyn Heights but serves Kings County, kicked off during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when residents were getting slammed by the crisis, coupled with a decrease in city funding.
“When the sanitation budget was cut, our parks, playgrounds and green spaces became littered with garbage. I saw the community taking matters into their own hands,” said Sabrina Lucia Rezzy, president of the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Democratic Club.
