Action Needed - 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund
The September 11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF), which is providing desperately needed financial help to thousands of injured and ill 9/11 responders and survivors
has announced cuts in pending awards of 50 percent to 70 percent. This means that thousands will not get the full compensation they were both expecting and deserve.
Worse still, if Congress does not act, the VCF is set to close its doors permanently at the end of 2020, just as thousands more are being diagnosed with 9/11 related cancers. This cannot be allowed to happen.
Citizens for the Extension of the James Zadora Act has created a way that will make it easy for you to contact your Member of Congress and do that.
Click here to take action,
type in your address and we will tell you who your Members of Congress are, if they are on the bill yet and if not, we can connect you to their office.
This legislation will ensure the continued availability of compensation for these heroes and make sure they get the help they need, as well as ensure benefits for those that we know will be coming down with cancer in the years to come.
If you have not contacted your Members of Congress yet, please do it today.
If you have already, and they have not joined the bill, please call again.
If they have gone on the bill, please thank them for supporting injured and ill 9/11 responders.
Please share this email and urge your friends and neighbors to join you in contacting your Members of Congress.
