September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. 01/17/02 Mr. Kenneth Zwick U.S. Department of Justice Wash., DC 20530 Dear Mr. Zwick: Re the September 11th attacks, please grant all families are equal access to compensation. Many lesbian and gay were killed in the September 11th attacks. Since the attacks, lesbian and gay surviving partners of those killed who have had mixed results in obtaining equal treatment at the local level in the distribution of relief funds by private and state agencies. In October the US Congress passed legislation instructing the Justice Department to create a federal fund to ensure that all victims and immediate family members were fairly compensated and to provide an alternative to filing lawsuits to obtain compensation. Soon the Justice Department will unveil rules related to how the program will be administered, and who will be eligible to file relief claims under the September 11 Victims Relief Fund. Amnesty International and I believe that justice will only be served if all families are treated equally and that means that lesbian and gay partners must be given equal access to compensation under this fund. Thank You. Sincerely, Individual Comment Racine, WI September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-17 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
