New Page

We've begun to revise and add to the page devoted to 9/11 EA's press releases, flyers and statements. See 9/11 EA Addresses the Issues. More stories have been added to the June collection of WTC related articles and this summer's page on asbestos issues.

Finally, the page devoted to the struggle for healthcare, About Our Health, is getting some much needed revision, and a few updates. More to come....

Stories from the August, June and the final week of May have now been added to our site. Remember the WTC & New Orleans Coughs? In the wake of the tornados, reports of a new cough have come out-- the Greensburg Cough: the controversy about what is in the air sounds pretty familiar.

Please see April and May 2007 News Pages for the latest coverage of developments -- they are being updated, but the most recent news articles and opinion pieces, on the City's recognition of a connection between WTC contamination and the death of a woman fleeing the attack, on the falling debris as 130 Liberty is demolished, and on the struggle for funding for health care, among other subjects

9/11 Environmental Action, together with other community organizations, sponsored a Town Hall on September 7th:

Affected but Neglected: The Impact of 9/11 on Community Health and a Call for Federal Action

The news coverage didn't report that more than 300 folks turned out for the event, emphatically embracing the call, but the press didn't fail to mention the event, as they reported on the demands that were raised repeatedly by not just the community, but public officials as well. 9/11 EA has been unable to keep its coverage as up-to-date as it would like; the pace of events and the willingness of the mainstream press to cover it has overwhelmed us temporarily. But the stories for the early part of November and December are now on-line. Since everyone was taken by surprise today when the EPA released an unimproved final Lower Manhattan cleanup program plan, please bear with any jinxes in the links on these two new pages.

Links on WTC Related Press should now be in working order. It seems likely that the web is torn elsewhere, so please send a message if you find a problem.

A new page devoted to the struggles to meet the health needs of the many people in the United States whose health has been compromised by their contact with asbestos.

Coming soon, the entire strongly worded series that continues in the New York Daily News, calling for "long-term, gold-standard health care - now" will be available permanently on the August and July 2006 News Stories pages -- we've just begun.

In May, the News Stories for April, and the first part of May were added to the site. On June 5, the June page was begun. More May and June stories will be arriving daily, after a brief period of recovery.

The pages that haven't yet been reformatted, (alas, they are by far the greater majority), will yetarrive in their new togs.

In April, 9/11 EA rented a post office box. Now our address is on the site: you can write to us. And maybe you could send us a donation to help us keep up with our work.

And don't hesitate to let us know what doesn't seem to be working on the website. There's a lot to fix, and since the pages were created with software from the last century, a lot may now go askew as the cleanup and additions are put in place with 21st century tools.
