It was a rainy day last Sunday in New York City but NYC CAN and brave supporters marched in the streets to let the world know of the important decision that the court will have to take in the coming hours. Will the 80,000 supporters of  the NYC CAN petition have their say in the democratic process of the city? Can we expect the see democracy prevail? Or will some special interest win this battle by stopping NYC CAN? There are many questions to asked here.

“Today we are marching peaceably to let the world know that the City of NY is defying the will of the people to have one question on the ballot, the question to have a proper independent investigation to answer 100% of the questions raised by the 9/11 families.”
— Manny Badillo, 9/11 family member

Some people also have delivered important speeches during the march. We were speechless by Daniel Sunjata’s speech. We invite you to watch these videos and see what you will never see on mainstream television. A group of citizens trying to make democracy work.

NYC CAN Update

On Friday, the Court-appointed Referee submitted his recommendations in which he sided with the City.  Monday morning, the Petitioners’ attorney, Dennis McMahon, filed a motion requesting a hearing to allow for arguments challenging the Referee’s “fatally flawed” report.  According to McMahon, “No other case pending in the New York courts has a higher priority, so we expect a judgment this Wednesday.”  9/11 family members, first responders and survivors will be attendance at the hearing Tuesday morning.

If the Petition overcomes all legal challenges, goes to the November ballot and passes, it would lead to the creation of a local, independent commission with subpoena power that would be tasked with comprehensively reinvestigating the attacks.
