SUMMARY:Day of Mourning Candlelight Vigil
DESCRIPTION:*Trigger Warning* \n“In the past five years\, over 650 people with disabilities have been murdered by their parents\, relatives or caregivers. \nOn Friday\, March 1st\, the disability community will gather across the nation to remember these disabled victims of filicide – disabled people murdered by their family members or caregivers. \nIn the year since our last vigil\, our community has lost over 70 more people to filicide. These are just the cases that we are aware of – since we began monitoring this issue\, we learn about more murders every week. We read the victims’ names\, see their photographs\, and gather what information we can about their lives. The criminal justice system has continued to give lighter sentences to parents and caregivers who murder disabled children. And we have seen the news media continue to portray these murders in a sympathetic light. We hold the Day of Mourning vigils to draw attention to these injustices\, to commemorate the lives of victims\, and demand justice and equal protection under the law for all people with disabilities.” \nFor more information\, please contact our Advocacy Team: advocacy@cdrnys.org or 585-546-7510 \n
