I was honored to be a part of this years
Isidro Aviles Memorial Picnic, an experience I won't soon forget.
I would like to thank Teresa Aviles (Mama T) and her friends
and family: Peanut, George, Steven, Beverly, Ricky, Melanie,
my new pal, young Isidro, Paul Morgan Sr. and Jr., and all the
good folks who made me feel welcome, and who made this year's
picnic a success. Special thanks go to Paul Bennett of The Mertz-Gilmore
Foundation for helping make this event possible. -- Tom Murlowski,
November Coalition

The members of The November Coalition extend
their thanks and love to Mama T, who vowed on her son's deathbed
that she would devote her life to ending the injustice of the
War on Drugs. She fights tirelessly still. Teresa has been a
steadfast volunteer with the November Coalition since that dreadful
day in 1998. Every year she organizes demonstrations, sponsors
a Summer Picnic and hosts a Christmas Party for local children
of incarcerated parents, all in honor of her fallen son, Isidro
Lamont Aviles.
