| - Sarah Jane Stone (April 12, 1992 - May 6th, 2028), was a lawyer, social activist, philanthropist, and poet. She is best known for leading the Social Justice Movement, a social movement that demanded racial, sexual, and economic equality and also demanded more accountability within the United States Government. She became a prominent world figure due to her belief in the ideals of social justice, and inspired social justice movements worldwide. Raised in a working-class home by a single mother, Stone had a heart for the poor from a young age. She developed a desire to change the existing systems in America she saw as unjust. To this end she pursued a career in law, and attended Stony Brook University where she studied Political Science. While she was there she worked with several social activist groups, and was involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement. When the movement fell apart in mid-2012, she learned from the mistakes made by the movements leaders and began developing her own methods for pursuing social justice; while also studying the methods used by Martin Luther King, Gandhi, the demonstrators who overthrew the regime of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and studied Marx and Max Weber. It was also at Stony Brook that she met her partner and close friend Lizzie Riley, the two became members of the American CIvil Liberties Union. After graduating from Stony Brook, both her and Riley attended the New York University Law School where they both earned their Masters in Laws. However, after they graduated they found themselves thousands of dollars in debt; along with many other students their age. Stone, with the backing of the ACLU, led a protest movement demanding that all student debts be forgiven. She successfully defended four African-American teenagers wrongfully convicted of murdering two police officers. She then became a household name when she, along with a group of demonstrators, occupied the US Capitol for two days; in order to force Congress to sign an act that would forgive all student loan debts. Stone gained national prominence, became the face of the fledgling Social Justice Movement, and many youth began to look up to her as someone who represented them politically and socially. She also became friends with several politicians world figures such as the Dalai Lama, Bono, and Rand Paul; and her social justice movement spread all over the world. Due to her actions, she became the object of both scorn and adoration. She was assassinated by a ultra-conservative militia known as the Golden Eagles, after speaking at NYU's Commencement Exercises. It is later revealed by a whistleblower that the government conspired with the Golden Eagles to kill stone: Giving stone less security, giving the assassins the weapons to do the deed, and obstructing justice. Her assassination lit the tinderbox that eventually led to the Second American Civil War. Sarah Stone is considered by many to be the greatest freedom fighter of her generation, often mentioned in the same light as her heroes Martin Luther King, Gandhi, and Susan B. Anthony. Her detractors saw her as a rabble-rouser who misled the youth of America, and whose actions led to the social turbulence that prevailed during the Attitude Era.
