Jones,” and “9/11: Explosive Evidence Experts Speak Out,” there will be live streaming from 9/11 events in Toronto and Seattle.
The Toronto Hearings, sponsored by the International Center for 9/11 Studies, will be held at Ryerson University for four days beginning on September 8 These hearings will examine evidence for the inadequacy of the U.S. government’s investigation and will request that a full and impartial investigation be launched into the events of 9/11, which have been used to initiate military invasions and to restrict the rights of citizens. The founder of Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Erik Lawyer, is organizing ONE: The Event - Shifting from Fear to Love, a three-day event in Seattle designed to facilitate an individual and collective shift in consciousness, encouraging the choice of “ love over fear, kindness over anger, and responsibility rather than blame.”
Additional actions and events will be held in the Bay Area and around the world.
9/11 Reclaiming the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future is a benefit for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, whose purpose is to explore the truth and meaning behind the traumatic events of 9/11, to honor the dead and dying, and to share stories, insights and research about that day, the forgotten history that led up to it, and the decade that followed. Tickets are $10 ($7 for seniors, students, and low-income) at the door and are available in advance through the Grand Lake Theater website and for the Herbst event through the City Box Office.
A tentative schedule with details about the speakers and films is posted here, however it is subject to change as the program needs to be coordinated with the events in Toronto and Seattle.
The 9/11 Truth Film Festival is endorsed by 911Truth.org, Project Censored, Media Freedom Foundation, Peace Resource Project, the BFUU Social Justice Committee and the Grand Lake Theater.
