Trisha Yearwood is honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Voter Registration Day (Tuesday, September 22), by encouraging others to register to vote ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
“Today is National Voter Registration Day and I’m honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg by shining a light on VOTING!” Trisha posted on social media. “RBG, when asked how she would like to be remembered said, ‘…as someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has.’ Let’s all do our part to try to make our communities better, to make our world better.
“Vote,” she continued. “Volunteer, Offer to drive a friend to the polls, to make it easier for them to mail their ballot in, to register. #iamavoter. I’m voting early and in person. What’s your plan? If you don’t know, let iamavoter.com help you make one. Everything can wait. Register to vote.”

Trisha also praised Ginsburg for her legacy, shortly after she passed away on Friday, September 18.
“In 1974, women gained the right to get a credit card in their own names with the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act,” Trisha shared on social media. “The law made credit card companies issue cards to women without a husband’s signature, which gave more women power over their personal finances.”
Trisha isn’t the only country artist who praised Ginsburg for her immeasurable contributions.
“She was small in stature but even the tallest looked up to her,” Dolly Parton posted on social media. “Her voice was soft but her message rang loud and clear and will echo forever. Thank you, RBG. Rest In Peace. Respectfully, Dolly Parton.”
“I’m so saddened over what has happened to open political discourse,” Travis Tritt said. “Supreme court justices Scalia and Ginsburg disagreed on almost all political decisions and yet, they had a very close personal friendship. God, how I long for those days again. #RIPRBG”
