Video testimonies from WTC disaster responders and the companion book, “”We’re Not Leaving! 9/11 Responders Tell their Stories of Courage, Sacrifice and Renewal” will also be part of the program.

Paul Sladkus, Human Being
On 9 11 ten years ago I was home. My wife called me and said that the twin towers were burning and to put on the TV. She was in Long Island City and could see the towers and worked for the city. Our daughter and I were still at home. We put the TV on and saw the towers burning and heard a reporter say we are going to need blood. Our daughter and i immediatedly at 9:15am left and walked quickly to the Red Cross on 69th street and Amsterdam. We were one of the first people into the place and gave blood and left. People were lining up by the time we left and they all are responders to a crisis. Humankind is so good and we should all be honored to be living amongst such goodness. Paul Sladkus
After finalizing the nite before all my non paid work requirements for several Multi-Hundred City Events Networks supporting Peace & Ecology where mergers where taking place & Global Integrity Simulations Projects where being performed by myself as well as several other groups on our radar for the 2012 Time Line Transition Project. Which was being supported & guided by many Elders from the Alliances of Light & Circles of Mystics & Cosmic Friends as well as multiple transcendence organizations. I pretty much got feed up with the lack of personal cash and respect for the work I was doing so the final mass email I sent late that nite was something to the extent of Blow It Up – Do it Your Self – I’m Done! – I went to Sleep to wake up to another World, maybe a Better One!
