JOHN JUDGE & KYLE HENCE

Hence and Judge established 911CitizensWatch.org to track the activities of the government's 9/11 Commission and support independent research. They mobilized public pressure to force the Commission to swear in all witnesses, and to take Condoleezza Rice's testimony in public instead of behind closed doors. They organized a series of Washington press conferences, many of these broadcast on C-SPAN, and provided platforms for the concerns of September 11th family members like Bruce De Cell, survivors like April Gallop, reporters like Daniel Hopsicker, and whistleblowers like Sibel Edmonds. In the photo, Judge (on the left) is holding up an ad that the group ran in the Washington DC subway - "NO 9/11 COVER-UP" - calling upon the Commission to have Bush, Clinton, Gore, Rice and Cheney all testify in public.

NY 9/11 TRUTH

An action-oriented network of 9/11 skeptics in New York City, NY 9/11 Truth is one of the busiest such groups in the country, with hundreds of street-visibility actions and demonstrations to educate the public since September 11, 2003.

The network is perhaps best known for the Vigil for Truth at Ground Zero and the Sunday series of lectures at St. Mark's Church.

The photos here show action at Rockefeller Center and Times Square during the protest march on Sept. 11 2005.

Websites that provide a gateway to this network include Summeroftruth.org and ny911truth.org.

No Police State Coalition contends that political speech isn't a special event, something that should require permission to practice. "We're not protesters," says co-founder Geoffrey Blank. "We're First Amendment exercisers." The group challenges New York City's restrictions on parades and permit requirements for using bullhorns or displaying large banners in public spaces. They have braved more than 35 arrests. Blank now faces up to four years in prison for using a 10-watt amplifier during a speech against the Iraq war. The picture shows Blank at one of the regular NPSC speak-outs in Union Square.
