What can I say! I just learned of Sara's passing. Where was I? Sometimes we move so fast, we miss the things that matter most. Sara was a friend and a comrade. My fondest memory was being on the picket line with her and other striking workers. We share many stories and I will miss her. Rest in power, my sister/friend. Prayers and Candles for the family and all of us who must continue the work in her name! Presente Sara!!! Love and respect, Jaribu Hill

It is with great sadness that I just learned of Sara's death. I met Sarita in 1988 or so, shortly after she arrived in NYC to work at the Center for Constitutional Rights. I liked her immediately. She was smart, energizing, inspiring and fun. Over the years we lost touch and only recently found each other again. I was looking forward to reconnecting with Sarita and rekindling our friendship. Her contributions to peace and justice will not be forgotten.
My deepest condolences to...

I met Sarita decades ago when I was working with migrant workers in Toledo. I am so, so sorry to hear of her passing. I know that her compassion and justice-filled spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
