Just a few of the many tributes that have been pouring in on Facebook, email, and other venues:

Elizabeth Hook

I have known a hero in my lifetime, I have laughed with and cried with and shared the righteous rage with a hero. I got to hug a hero, stand at her wedding and find shelter in her home. See her babies grow up and eat pie with her. She casts no shadows, only light now. A woman who gave herself to struggle for decades. A heart, a strong and loving heart that beat so hard for so many, death cannot stop it. Her spirit goes to the reward for loving warriors, there is a significant part of her city, and the nation and beyond that, who feels this loss tonight. Oh captain, my captain.

Comrade Lynne Stewart, presente!

Sad news on the eve of International Women’s Day: revolutionary soldier, political prisoner, people’s attorney Lynne Stewart has passed.

When we smash the bosses’ courts, when we tear down the prison walls and the real dragons fly out, Lynne will be with us.

Solidarity to Ralph and family. We’ve got your back.
