Help honor the victims and survivors of 9/11 hate crimes by signing and sharing this petition and urging your Congressperson to support House Resolution 662.
In the days and weeks following 9/11, innocent individuals were attacked at the hands of hate. Lives were lost and destroyed, but to this day, the 9/11 Commission and the Compensation Fund have never included these victims and survivors as part of 9/11. Yet, the catastrophic pain, trauma, and health ramifications of survivors and victim’s families continues. Recognition for all 9/11 hate crime victims and survivors is long overdue. Please join our efforts.
Since 2015, Rais Bhuiyan, 9/11 hate crime survivor and Founder of World Without Hate, has been working with Congresswoman Johnson (TX 30) on this Congressional Resolution to nationally honor and recognize the hate crime victims and survivors of 9/11. Last year, on the 20th Anniversary of Rais’s attack (September 21, 2021), HR 662 was introduced to Congress.
Currently under review, this Resolution is being led by the Oversight and Judiciary Committees. Rais has visited numerous members of Congress’ offices seeking bi-partisan support and we’re proud to share that current co-sponsors include Congressman Andre Carson (IN-7), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (MI-13) and Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY – 13). World Without Hate is actively working with Congressional staff so we may gain additional sponsorship and support to bring this Resolution to the House floor.
This national recognition will truly aid in the lifelong healing process for victims’ families and survivors. It will also serve as a reminder to “never forget” all lost because of the terrorist attacks on our country, and all that continues to be lost should fear, divisiveness, and hate continue to dominant what is to be the ‘United’ States of America.
Today, we ask you to sign and share this petition and urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor House Resolution 662.
