Your donations make it possible
for us to keep this valuable resource online - covering the cost for hosting and bandwith. 911Truth.org receives
no foundation or outside funding, only the generous donations
of concerned individuals like you. We honestly appreciate every single
penny! We are currently restoring archived content in support of our main priority: providing the best, most reliable online source for 9/11-related news, activism opportunities and investigative information to which you can turn with confidence, knowing the information will be as well-vetted as we are able to confirm, and pertinent to the broad pursuit of truth that affects our lives now in so many areas. [Update: 9/6/12 - For many years, we have wanted to provide a relational database for researchers to use to sift through the overwhelming amount of information on this confusing topic. To that end, we are now developing a visual relational daqtabase for articles on topics covered on this site and others. Please contact us if you have thoughts, suggestions, or original source articles to add to the collection. Our initial project will launch 9/11/12] Below are several ways you can help. Please, support these efforts
as generously as you can!

About the IRS...
We do not have tax-exempt status with the IRS -- your donation
is therefore not tax deductible. We hope that our effective work,
coupled with the fact that we're at least as frugal with your money as
you are, will suffice as your 'reward' for giving. If you are considering
a significant gift, for which a tax deduction is an important issue, please
contact Janice Matthews at janice@911truth.org.
Again, please accept our sincere appreciation
for your courage, and your generosity, in the struggle for 9/11 Truth!
Thank You!!!

Website, Newswire
Our main priority remains providing the best, most reliable online source
for 9/11-related news, activism opportunities and investigative information
to which you can turn with confidence, knowing the information will be
as well-vetted as we are able to confirm, and pertinent to the broad pursuit
of truth that affects our lives now in so many areas. As Orwell continues
to roll in his grave, we attempt to post information not only about the
outrages with which we're being pummelled, but also analysis and perspective,
and as often as possible, actions you can take in response. At this point,
9/11 has been used as the justification for such egregious expansion of
corporate and police-state incursions into our lives that we are addressing
much more than just the crimes of 9/11 themselves. If we are to appeal
to and engage millions of Americans in joining us to correct the direction
of this runaway train, we must continually post reminders of how we're
still being affected by 9/11. Thus, you are seeing a broader scope of
news subjects now being posted. We have available an RSS feed, picked
up by many sites now, which provides links to 911truth.org stories as
they are posted (available
here).
Grassroots Contacts Support
911Truth.org previously facilitated the affiliation of nearly 200 grassroots
organizers, in as many cities, and nearly 40 countries. That function
has been handed off and you can now find a list
of groups and contacts here. 911Truth.org will continue to provide
networking, communication tools, support and encouragement to this semi-autonomous,
decentralized group of courageous individuals and their local groups as
we have the opportunity.
Coalition-building with Other Groups
We recognize the need to join forces with other groups working for government
transparency and accountability. We will continue our efforts in this
arena as resistance grows. We also try to support legitimate truth-telling
candidates for public office (particularly supporting third parties),
groups working to end corporate personhood and to reduce/remove corporate
control over specific areas of our lives, such as media, banking, food
production and supply, medicine, education, etc.As always, we try to identify
mechanisms for state and local efforts, and support groups pressing for
ballot initiatives, referendums, resolutions, and other forms of direct
democracy.

A few highlighted previous accomplishments include
...
(See also, Achievements,
Highlights and Major Initiatives)
National Conference--January 2008--Santa Cruz, CA
Our first gathering of 2008 was a phenomenal success! 300 participants
gathered to brainstorm and strategize on how to build a new media network,
resulting in amazing ideas and plans. Details and info has been posted,
and is being updated by working groups, at Truthemergency.us
and Truthemergency.pnn.com.
Implementation of these ideas will take a concerted, long-term effort,
and we are excited to be working with such broad-based activists in this
critical area. You will begin seeing more 'New Media' articles posted
at the site as the year progresses. An alternative newsire, which can
replace all corporate media as a daily source for news, has been created
as an outcome of this conference: mediafreedom.pnn.com/5174-independent-news-sources
Commissioned A National Poll for Summer 2007
Zogby/911Truth.org 2007 poll results were released September 6, 2007.
Read
the press release here. Our thanks to a few very generous donors for
making this expensive process possible. Total cost for the poll was just
over $6,000. Unfortunately, in spite of our best efforts, an official
press release from Zogby, posting at their front page, and PRWeb release,
the media has entirely blacked out this important information. The results:
51% of Americans support a new investigation, are very important to use
in speaking with your elected officials. Please, make use of this project.
Post the results to your websites, include a link in your email signatures,
deliver them to your legislators, newspapers, clergy, and friends. We
are not a "fringe minority" to be dismissed. We are
a significant
cross-section of mainstream America, and we demand to be heard!!
Grassroots Contacts Support, Continuing
The list of Grassroots Contacts grew during 2007 and 2008 by approximately
100 organizers in cities and towns across America, Europe, Australia,
and South America, and we were able to make more resources available to
them. We continue to hold monthly national conference calls, and provide
daily support via email and phone to these great organizers.
Coalition-Building
This is an ongoing area of emphasis for us. In the last couple of years
we have
• attended the national meeting of World Can't Wait in November
2008 in Chicago, which was extremely valuable
• participated with 27 other national/regional organizations at
the NYC Emergency Impeachment Summit held in February, at which the Impeach07.org
Coalition formed.
• traveled to Atlanta in August 2007 for the amazing,
first-ever United States Social Forum, where we joined with some 15,000
other people to march through historic downtown Atlanta, caucus, and talk
with hundreds of other groups and leadership, distributed thousands of
fliers and DVDs, hosted four tables with other 9/11 truthers, presented
a well-attended two-hour workshop on 9/11 and social justice. We prepared
and introduced a referendum
calling for an independent, international investigation into 9/11,
which was overwhelmingly passed by the full assembly at the final gathering
of attendees.
• coordinated an August gathering of coalition
groups in NYC, which included representatives of several of the NYC 9/11
truth groups and non-9/11-specific organizations, and participated in
a similar gathering in Philadelphia in July.
• assisted and supported local groups across the
nation in working together with other local/regional activist groups to
introduce and promote 9/11 truth information and joint actions and campaigns.
• attended and presented a 9/11 truth informational proposal (rejected)
to the United for Peace & Justice national meeting in 2006.
911truth.org Working Groups Initiative
We attempted to create specific-focus Working Groups during 2007-8, and
brought together interested people in many of these areas at different
periods during the year. We continue to welcome responses to this call:
Legal--Research, Representation, Networking - We would like
to improve our effectiveness in pursuing legal redress by developing
ongoing relationships with people in the legal field.
Research & Investigative Journalism / 9/11 Newswire -
We receive lots of editorial submissions. But we need investigative
research pieces focusing on specific aspects of the 9/11 crimes
and consequences, and analytical articles to help readers make sense
of the information.
Public Relations/Marketing - Much help still needed here!
How can you can plug in here...?
Campus Outreach - We found that college groups come and go...
Conference calls among campus groups were being held regularly, until
students changed schools or graduated! We will, of course, continue
helping as much as we can to support growing groups of student activists.
Resource Development - Materials continue to be created and
coordinated, and added to the Downloads page. If you have resources
to share, or graphics/ creative skills, please contact us.
Fundraising - Clearly, we still need MUCH help in this area!
Many of the projects we most want to undertake require funding. For
instance, we desperately need, right now, to set up project-management/database
software to effectively plug in the hundreds of volunteers we're hearing
from. Even with extremely frugal budgeting, we need more funds to run
this organization and achieve our goals -- the ultimate goal, of course,
is that soon there will no longer be a need for the organization! [Update:
Given the worsening state of the economy, WE NEED HELP FINDING A PROFESSIONAL
FUNDRAISER ASAP!! Ideas?
International Outreach and Networking - International groups
grew by leaps and bounds in 2007, and 911truth.org has many of these
listed on our Grassroots and Links pages. If you have 9/11 truth related
materials in a language other than English, please let us know, so we
can add them to the Downloads page (fliers/handouts), Articles, and
Video/Audio sections.
To help with any of these continuing needs, please contact Janice@911truth.org.
Thank you!
2006 highlights ...
- Major 9/11 truth event in Chicago: 9/11:
Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future: An International Education
and Strategy Conference, June 2-4, 2006, which featured five keynote
speakers and over 40 workshop leaders, and included both education and
strategy tracks. Out of this event have come a host of new ideas and
relationships. Many of these workshops are being edited and made available
in as many formats as possible. To watch the workshops online, see our
Multimedia
Page. To buy the DVDs, check the e-store.
- The Grassroots
Contacts list grew steadily, listing contacts in over 35 states
and five other countries at the end of the year.
- Worked to make flyers and other educational materials more readily
accessible, and added many to the website.
- We commissioned Zogby International to conduct a nationwide poll,
similar to the Zogby poll we coordinated in July 2004. Results can be
viewed at: "Zogby
Poll Finds Over 70 Million Voting Age Americans Support New 9/11 Investigation"
- Continued to make new materials available at our online 911Truth
store.
- Politics911 was launched 7/22/06, the anniversary of the 9/11 cOmmission
Report, to put 2006 candidates for federal office on the record re.
their views on the need for a new and authentic 9/11 investigation.
This offered activists significant information as they determined how
best to support political candidates this fall. Please review INTRODUCING
"POLITICS 911" for more information as you determine how to get
involved for the '08 elections.
