This is not partisan: James Zadroga 9/11 Act

My friend Jon Stewart and I stood on the Capitol lawn this morning with 9/11 first responders and survivors, urging Congress to extend a lifesaving health care program before it expires at the end of this month.

Jon said it right: These men and women brought civility and humanity not just to New York City, but to our entire country after 9/11. Now our entire country must demand they get the health care they need and deserve.

This is one of the most important things we can do together: I need you to lend your voice today to advocate 

Contact your legislators and urge them to support the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act to renew and extend these lifesaving benefits for our country’s heroes.

The only time anything works in Washington is when regular people stand up and demand action. Thank you for refusing to abandon our country’s heroes.

Tell Congress: Stand with 9/11 survivors and first responders!

Fourteen years after September 11, 9/11 first responders and survivors are still battling serious illness or injury resulting from exposure to toxins at Ground Zero.

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, passed by Congress in 2010, helped ensure proper monitoring and treatment for thousands of men, women and children that face potential life-threatening health effects due to the toxins released at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, but it will begin to expire this year.

We must renew our commitment to our country's heroes by passing the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act, which will extend these critical programs.
