- Coalition of 9/11 Families
The Coalition of 9/11 Families is a new conglomerate made up of several of the original support groups, each of which started independently after the September 11 terrorist attacks. In March 2002, they decided to bond into a "formidable alliance" [ [http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/sept11/features/n_7691/index.html Jennifer Senior-9/11-One Year Later-Families ] ] . In 2002, Tom Rogér was "the graying, mild-mannered" vice-president. Then, Rogér's organization -- whose board features a lobbyist and four lawyers -- was pushing for a bipartisan commission to investigate the events leading up to the September 11 attacks]Bill Doyle, whose 25-year-old son, Joey, was killed in the attacks [ [http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/22/wtc.identifications/index.html CNN.com - Identification of 9/11 remains comes to an end - Feb 23, 2005 ] ] was previously the leader of "Give Your Voice"
The Coalition has asked for nine of the sixteen acres of Ground Zero to be preserved, and that the Port Authority of New York move a transportation hub slated for construction directly beneath the North Tower, because dozens of bodies were found there. The Port Authority has indicated they may grant the Coalition's request
