The early birds will start arriving around 7am, at this time we will line up peacefully along the black fences of St. Paul’s Chapel on Vesey Street btwn Church St & Broadway. We will stay here til approx 8:30am.
At 10:30am we will peacefully and respectfully march in form towards the Path Station, down Vesey St(East). Again, we will line up along the postal service building(across from the gates of the WTC site).
It is there where we will wait through the moments of silence, paying respect to the victims & grieving family members. The name calling ceremony usually lasts from 8am-12pm with two moments of silence at 8:45am and 9:03am. During this time it is important to show the utmost respect for those who lost their lives that day and their grieving families, friends, as well as brothers & sisters from FDNY, NYPD, PAPD. Please, no bullhorn’s, shouting, screaming, yelling, accosting passerby’s, fighting, etc during this time. It is crucial that we do not engage in any negativity, we will have security present throughout the day, like every year, ensuring that we keep everyone safe & remain peaceful.
This year there will be an “Anti-Mosque” rally as well as the usual Agent Provocateurs. PLEASE DO NOT engage with any of them, regardless if you are against or for the Mosque. If they scream, yell, argue, dress up in dragon costumes, dance around naked, please remain silent & walk away. We cannot let this distraction take away from our message for Truth and Justice, especially for the 9/11 First Responders.
Around 12pm, we will gather at the ‘Remembrance Fountain’ in front of Building 7. Here we will call the names of ‘Forgotten Heroes’. The First Responders who lost their lives after 9/11 and are not acknowledged during the “official” name calling ceremony at Ground Zero.
At approx 1pm, we will leave the fountain and begin a march. Police Plaza, City Hall and up Broadway.
