Two Days Before the 10th Anniversary of September 11th

We are in New York City. We are in New York City two days before the 10th anniversary of 9/11. We are in New York City and it is a wild place to be right now. We joined a press conference at city hall about combating Islamaphobia on 9/11 and in general. Our host, Elaine Brower, spoke at the conference. Jacob George was called up to speak as well. We were all interviewed by several news organizations afterward and will update as they come in. We spent a good portion of the day singing too.


It ended with a BBQ with Elaine and her husband John and a documentarian making a film related to September 11th. Needless to say the conversation was intense, rooted in 9/11 sentiments, and a blessing for an Afghan war veteran, a revolutionary mother, a small town boy, and the father of a NYPD officer who did clean up work at ground zero, to share their thoughts together around the same table two days before the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
