New Yorkers Against Religion-Based Bigotry

Various 9/11-related events, Thurs 9/10 to Sun 9/13

Sep 2009 13

Description

Every 9/11 anniversary week and weekend, there are various 9/11 Truth movement events that attract a fairly large crowd. This will be our annual opportunity to try to counteract religiously bigoted grand conspiracy ideologies among people in the 9/11 Truth movement, while at the same time showing our support for an independent investigation of the U.S. government's actions regarding 9/11.

We will aim to take a friendly, constructive approach, actively supporting the 9/11 Truth movement's call for an independent investigation, on grounds that have been advocated not just by "conspiracy theorists" but also by mainstream writers. (See NYARBB's position on 9/11.) But we aim also to counteract the religiously bigoted grand conspiracy ideologies that are advocated by some (though by no means all) 9/11 Truth activists. (See NYARBB's position on "conspiracy theories" and NYARBB's position against "Illuminati" claims.)

The events (NOT sponsored by NYARBB) will be announced on the following sites:

9/11/09 Real Change Conference (held by We Are Change)
We Demand Transparency Conference (held by NYCCAN)

These events include the following (which some of us may be attending) and more. All are in Manhattan.

Friday, 9/11, 5 PM to ?: 21st Street and 6th Avenue: Memorial Vigil and speak out with many speakers.
