On the 25th anniversary of 9.11, we honor the memory of the lives lost on 9.11.2001 and courage of the first responders and heroes of #911 #NeverForget Today and always, we remember the enduring impacts of this tragedy on our nation…

the world and also the communities that bear the ongoing impacts of post 9/11 hate crimes and xenophobia. This year the ceremony adds a seventh moment of silence, held after the last name is read, for everyone who died in the years since from illnesses tied to the air at Ground Zero. And we hold that silence with them from here in Georgia and hold space for every life this day has cost, then and since. May love, unity and peace overcome the forces of hate and violence in our nation.
