Weeks later, at the urging of local officials and assurance from the EPA, Lila and her three thousand classmates were returned to their school -- even though the air was thick with toxic debris, dust, and smoke. In this remarkable, empowering memoir, Lila shares how the illnesses and deaths of her classmates related to the effects of the 9/11 cleanup spurred her into action. She created StuyHealth and became involved in the fight for the Victim Compensation Fund, working alongside first responders and heavy-weights like Jon Stewart, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi, proving at every turn that her survivor community also deserves mental and physical health care, and that her voice too deserves to be heard."--Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $t Never Forget the Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act. 650 0 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Human rights advocacy. 700 1 $a Nadler, Jerrold, $e author of foreword. 700 1 $a Maloney, Carolyn, $e author of foreword. 941 $a 3 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119015920.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210909010312.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210828011359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B57A27E07C611EC9B70F7B836ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
