September Eleventh Advocates

The Uncompromising Voice of 9/11 Families

Formed in the aftermath of 9/11, the September Eleventh Advocates united five women—Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg, Patty Casazza, and Monica Gabrielle—whose spouses perished in the World Trade Center attacks. Initially strangers, their shared grief transformed into a relentless pursuit of accountability, spearheading demands for the 9/11 Commission when official investigations proved inadequate.

Mission & Impact

Through open letters and congressional testimony, they exposed critical failures ignored by the 9/11 Commission:

• Systemic Blindspots: Revealed 52 unheeded FAA warnings about Al Qaeda threats and contradictions in testimony from officials like Condoleezza Rice.

• Evidence Suppression: Challenged omissions of first responder accounts reporting explosions prior to collapses.

• Building 7 Scrutiny: Demanded explanation for WTC Building 7's collapse—now a focal point of 2025 Senate hearings.

The Living Archive

Their collected open letters—compiled by Jon Gold of 911truth.org—remain essential for understanding pre-attack intelligence failures and post-9/11 cover-ups. This archive provides:

• A documented timeline of advocacy milestones from 2002-2009

• Critical analysis of the 9/11 Commission Report omissions

• Foundational research cited by groups like the Lawyers' Committee for 9/11 Inquiry

Over the years, 9/11 Family Members Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg, Patty Casazza, and Monica Gabrielle, or the September Eleventh Advocates, have written open letters about different issues concerning the 9/11 attacks. I have compiled every letter that I have (not every letter is written by all of them), and put them into one file for you to download. I figured that along with the report written by Lorie Van Auken and Mindy Kleinberg regarding how well the 9/11 Commission answered the 9/11 Family Steering Committee’s questions, as well as the new report on the nano-thermite, this could be printed and handed out to people. Please spread this around, and thank you.

2025 Relevance

Their two-decade pursuit fuels current scrutiny, with Senator Ron Johnson now demanding hearings on Building 7 and Chapman University research showing 160 million Americans question official narratives. Their legacy persists in the Never Forget the Heroes Act and renewed bipartisan demands for transparency.
