"This fight isn't about money. This fight isn't about victims' compensation. This fight is about answers, Andrew Carboy, an attorney for 9/11 Health Watch, said. This is a moral injury case."
"The answers are so important because this country is a democracy. One of the foundations of our democracy is open government and transparency. When people don't trust their government, that's not stabilizing."
"This is the most significant event in New York City history, and one of the most significant events in our nation's history, Carboy said. We went to war for 20 years over this."
Advocates for 9/11 victims are pursuing a lawsuit against New York City to compel the release of information about air quality after the attacks. The lawsuit follows FOIL requests from 9/11 Health Watch for risk assessments and communications regarding the safety of air in lower Manhattan. Advocates emphasize that their fight is not about financial compensation but about obtaining answers and accountability. They argue that transparency is essential for trust in government, especially regarding such a significant historical event.
