Thursday, July 25th, 2024: U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and U.S. Representatives Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY), and Dan Goldman (D-NY) held a press conference with advocates and survivors to introduce the 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2024. The bill provides permanent and mandatory funding for the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) and updates an outdated funding formula to prevent a future funding shortfall and ensure that survivors and first responders don’t lose access to care. The senators and representatives were also joined by 9/11 advocate John Feal, President of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York Andrew Ansbro, President of the NYPD Sergeants Benevolent Association Vincent Vallelong, and 9/11 advocate Phil Alvarez.
