It still hasn't quite sunk in that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died Friday at age 87, due to “complications of metastatic pancreas cancer," according to the New York Times.  

Tributes to the feminist icon and pop culture monarch have continued since, including a comprehensive and poignant look at her historic career from The Daily Show.

On Monday, host Trevor Noah took at look at the inspiring life of "The Notorious R.B.G." life as told through news reports and interviews, and offered a moment of comfort in this ongoing time of stress and despair.

"I know that with RBG’s passing, a lot of people right now feel hopeless, they feel defeated, and they feel like everything is lost," said Noah. "But if there’s one thing that RBG’s life shows us is that change isn’t easy. But if you put in the time, the effort, and the dedication, you can see results.

"She never gave up, and she never stopped fighting."

So, if you want to put in the time, and fight for RBG's legacy, here's how.
