9/11 Victims’ Compensation


Funding is about to run out for the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. Many 9/11 survivors and first responders suffer from chronic and life-threatening illnesses as a direct result from exposure to toxins at Ground Zero. If the Fund is not permanently authorized, many of these people will be abandoned to foot their own medical bills.


Action:

1. Sign Jon Stewart’s petition at MoveOn.org:

2. Contact your MoC and ask them to support the bipartisan bill “Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund" to authorize full, permanent funding for the victims and families of the 9/11 attacks.
