Since 1998 , the Mothers of the New York Disappeared have been organizing vigils of family members and supporters of those incarcerated under the Rockefeller Drug Laws. Participants carry signs that display photographs and sentencing information of those imprisoned. The vigils are patterned after the Argentinian Mothers of the Disappeared, the women who marched weekly at the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina to draw attention to loved ones killed by military troops. In the past 3 years we have developed a vast network of families affected by this Draconian 28-year-old legislation. A number of inmates represented at our vigils have gone on to receive clemency from Governor Pataki. Now that politicians have acknowledged the unflinching cruelty of the Rockefeller Laws and the Second Felony Offender Law, it is more important than ever for us to continue our work to put a human face on the real victims of the Drug War.
