Not sure what to say?

Marty represented me and my friends during Occupy. I owe him so much! Truly a legend. Rest in power, Marty. The world is a better place because you were in it. My entire life trajectory since 2012 has been better because of you.

I was just recently made aware of Marty´s passing and I am deeply saddened to hear the news. My sincerest condolences to Marty´s friends and family. Marty was my lawyer after I was arrested during the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011. I am forever grateful to him for all of his help and support.

Today 12/4/24 I heard about the passing of Martin Stolar. I met him on the AALDEF board and in community/movement events. As a law student and lawyer, he inspired and guided me and many other legal workers. I am deeply saddened by his passing. He was inspirational for his integrity, principles, dedication, wisdom, commitment and perspectives. His smiling face was a comfort to all. I will miss him and tell his stories and tales.

Marty, I've looked up to you since I was a newbie law student in 1976. You've been a rock-solid defender of mass protest movements since forever. I'll miss you and your wisdom. It was a pleasure to photograph you at the 2024 NLG Spring Fling at which you were so rightfully honored.

Condolences for the loss of a national treasure
