of ethnic and racial health disparities in the U.S. resulted in A Right to Care, Jones' fourth solo piece, which premiered in 2005 at the Kellogg Foundation's 75th Anniversary conference alongside keynote speaker President Jimmy Carter. Jones recently returned to her UN School roots by becoming an Ambassador for UNICEF as its first ever Official Spokesperson on Violence Against Children, traveling and performing for audiences from Indonesia to Ethiopia, the Middle East and Japan. A recipient of the 2007 Brendan Gill Prize, Jones has also received grants and commissions from the Ford Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, and others. She has also obtained a Helen Hayes Award, two Drama Desk Award nominations, and HBO's US Comedy Arts Festival's Best One Person Show Award, as well as a New York Civil Liberties Union Calloway Award in recognition of Jones as the first artist in history to sue the Federal Communications Commission for censorship. The lawsuit resulted in reversal of a censorship ruling, which had targeted her hip-hop poem recording "Your Revolution" in which she makes a powerful statement against sexual exploitation of women in hip hop music. A regular guest on public radio, Jones has also made numerous TV appearances on programs including Charlie Rose, The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, Live with Regis and Kelly, and Sesame Street as Mr. Noodle's Other Sister, Ms. Noodle on Elmo's World. Sarah Jones also co-stars as Yasmin, a series regular in the 2021 Netflix series On The Verge created by Julie Delpy and produced by CanalPlus. In 2022, Jones directed, wrote, produced, and starred in Sell/Buy/Date a hybrid documentary-comedy film, which had its world premiere at South by Southwest in March 2022. It was released in theaters on October 14, 2022, by Cinedigm. It streamed on Amazon on November 8, 2022.
