NYC CAN Files Legal Memo Defending Petition's Legality

September 21, 2009

Today the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) filed its Memorandum of Law with the New York State Supreme Court, beginning a 6-day count down until the historic March For Answers to be held on September 27 at 2pm. The march will start at Battery Park and work its way towards Ground Zero, the New York City Clerk, and the State Supreme Court, before arriving at City Hall.

9/11 family members Bob McIlvaine and Manny Badillo, and Daniel Sunjata, star of Fox's "Rescue Me", will address thousands of supporters of the proposed referendum to establish a new 9/11 investigation. Other speakers will be announced over the coming days.

NYC CAN's 52-page legal memo comes nine days before a final determination will be made as to whether the referendum for a new 9/11 investigation will be on the NYC ballot this November. So far 80,000 New Yorkers have signed the petition calling for the voters to be able to create a local commission to conduct an impartial investigation of 9/11.

NYC CAN has posted the legal memo on its website. Click to download.

If you would like to volunteer to hand out fliers or to help organize the March For Answers, email volunteer@nyccan.org, and write VOLUNTEER in the subject line.

On September 27, 2009, let us take to the streets in the THOUSANDS on behalf of the families, first responders and survivors of September 11th and the 80,000 New Yorkers who signed the petition. As the climate ripens and public opinion continues to swing in favor of a new investigation, this is our opportunity to send a message like never before. If we stand together, we can alter the course history.
