She was 87.San Francisco Supervisor Rafael Mandelman and state Sen. Scott Wiener both announced on Twitter the details for the vigil for the women’s rights champion who became the court’s second female justice."Vigil for RBG tonight at 7 pm at Harvey Milk Plaza," Mandelman said. "Bring a candle, and wear a mask.""Let’s mourn &amp; then get ready to fight," Wiener wrote.California Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted shortly after Ginsburg's death was announced: "We have lost a giant among us. A trailblazer. And a champion of equality and justice. Our hearts ache tonight. Let us honor her memory by preserving the very ideals she fought so tirelessly for. Rest in Power."We have lost a giant among us. A trailblazer. And a champion of equality and justice.Our hearts ache tonight. Let us honor her memory by preserving the very ideals she fought so tirelessly for.Rest in Power. — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom)Chief Justice John Roberts mourned Ginsburg’s passing. “Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature. We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice,” Roberts said in a statement.Ginsburg announced in July that she was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for lesions on her liver, the latest of her several battles with cancer.Ginsburg spent her final years on the bench as the unquestioned leader of the court’s liberal wing and became something of a rock star to her admirers. Young women especially seemed to embrace the court’s Jewish grandmother, affectionately calling her the Notorious RBG, for her defense of the rights of women and minorities, and the strength and resilience she displayed in the face of personal loss and health crises.Those health issues included five bouts with cancer beginning in 1999, falls that resulted in broken ribs, insertion of a stent to clear a blocked artery and assorted other hospitalizations after she turned 75.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Matthew Tom is a Homepage Editor at SFGATE.
