Respiratory Problems, Depression, Cancer, Anxiety, Bronchitis, Severe Sinus Congestion, Rashes, Acid Reflux, etc.

These are just some of the medical problems residents, office workers, students, clean-up workers, and others are suffering after the toxic fallout of 9/11. There are few options available to us. The federal government even denies that, in addition Ground Zero workers, many more people are also sick.


Join the Letter-Writing Campaign

Join with all New Yorkers to call attention to those living with deteriorating health from the toxic fallout. People from all across New York -- Lower Manhattan residents and workers, first responders, students, members of faith and community groups, and others -- can participate by writing letters about how this is affecting our health.

Write your letter! Download an English one here and complete it, then send it back to us.
