Please join us on Monday, June 8, 2015, as Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. (D-6) tours the World Trade Center Health Program clinic at Rutgers University and holds a press conference with first responders on an upcoming hearing to reauthorize the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
The New Jersey State AFL-CIO was a strong advocate for the original bill ensuring that responders and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center receive the monitoring and health care they need. More than 4,800 responders and survivors with WTC-related illnesses and diseases are being treated at the Rutgers clinic because of this legislation, which Rep. Pallone co-sponsored.
However, the Zadroga Act will expire next year if Congress does not reauthorize the bill, and we cannot allow that to happen!
