Due to lack of funding, the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund [VCF] is forced to severely cut pending compensation to 9/11 responders who have been waiting years for help.

Tell your Congress members to pass this bill to make the VCF permanent: 202-224-3121.

Jon Stewart on renewing the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund: "First responders pride themselves on response time...and yet, every time they're in need, our response is inadequate, slow, and apathetic...Let's get this done with some urgency." #Renew911VCF
