COMMUNITY TALKS FOR PEACE and NON-VIOLENCE
AE911Truth New England Tour Film Premier
Firefighters, Architects & Engineers: Expose 9/11 Myths:
From November 11 through November 22, the new documentary “Firefighters Architects Engineers: Expose 9/11 Myths” will premiere in 12 cities throughout the Southwest. At each stop along the Northeast Tour, Richard Gage, AIA, will be introducing the film and hosting the Q&A.
This 90-minute film features a landmark joint presentation by Erik Lawyer, the founder of Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, and Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects & Engineers.
Together, Lawyer and Gage dismantle two-dozen myths that comprise the official account of the WTC destruction. They also expose the failure of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to comply with the requirements of NFPA 921 – the national guideline for fire and explosion investigations. They then take a penetrating look at the scientific forensic evidence of the destruction of all three World Trade Center skyscrapers.
The information-packed “Firefighters Architects Engineers” (FAE) DVD is expected to be a go-to educational tool — particularly for 9/11 Truth activists who are reaching out to firefighters and fire protection professionals all over the country.
The FAE New England Tour was created from the three-day educational outreach to 10,000 architects, who will be attending the annual ABX convention of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) on Nov 17 to 18 in Boston, MA. AE911Truth will be showing the architects who pass by our exhibit booth the evidence for the explosive destruction of World Trade Center 7. The effort is expected to attract another 200 AIA member co-sponsors of the 2016 resolution calling upon the AIA to reinvestigate the collapse.
Another point that booth volunteers will be making is that the official story about the attacks of September 11, 2001, falls apart when one looks squarely at the facts and applies fundamental scientific principles to interpret them. As Gage has long been saying, “After nearly ten years, don’t we all need and deserve to know the truth?”

Press Release
Gage is a San Francisco Bay Area architect of 25 years, a member of the American Institute of Architects, and the founder and CEO of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth.org), a 501(c)(3) educational charity representing more than 2,300 degreed/licensed architects and engineers who have signed a petition calling for a new, independent investigation, with full subpoena power, into the destruction of the Twin Towers and the 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 on 9/11.
The petition’s 20,000-plus non-architect/engineer signatories include many scientists, attorneys, teachers, and other responsible, educated citizens in the US and abroad. Backed by extensive research, AE911Truth cites overwhelming evidence for the explosive controlled demolition of the three towers.
As an architect, Gage has worked on most types of building construction, including numerous fire-proofed, steel-framed buildings. Most recently, he worked on the construction documents for a $400M mixed-use urban project with 1.2 million square feet of retail space, a parking structure, and 320,000 square feet of mid-rise office space — altogether some 1,200 tons of steel framing.
> He became interested in researching the destruction of the WTC high-rise buildings when, in 2006, he heard on the radio the startling conclusions of reluctant 9/11 researcher David Ray Griffin. Since then, Gage has been on his own unyielding quest for the truth about 9/11. In the nine years he has presided over AE911Truth, Gage has given the live multimedia presentation 9/11: Blueprint for Truth in more than 450 venues in 37 foreign countries and 85 American cities to groups ranging in size from 100 to 3,000. In addition, he has appeared in more than 400 radio interviews and television spots.

YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION INITIATIVE Grant To Fund Trained Outreach Workers
To Engage Highest Risk Youth
The City of Worcester has received a $25,000 grant for the city’s Youth
Violence Prevention Initiative from Attorney General Maura Healey G HEALEY AWARDS $25,000 GRANT TO CITY OF WORCESTER FOR youth violence prevention
Attorney General Maura Healey announced today that her office has awarded the City of Worcester a $25,000 grant to implement its Youth Violence Prevention Initiative.
The funds will be distributed to two nonprofit organizations that will employ trained outreach workers to work with 20 to 25 of city’s highest risk young men (ages 17-24)
and connect them with needed social,behavioral and employment services.
The goal of the year long initiative is to curtail gang violence and make the city safer
The city will use the partnerships it has developed through these programs and input from other orga
nizations to identify the high risk young men it will target for the program.
The workers will use intensive street outreach efforts to connect with identified
high risk young men and assist them as they go through job skills training and drug
treatment programs.
Outreach workers will also monitor and coach the young men
throughout the program to prevent relapses into violent behavior and conflicts.
The program’s service area includes the entire city, but efforts will be focused on
areas where more youth violence is located including areas around the southern and
eastern parts of the city.
The initiative will be underway this spring and will conclude in December of
2016. The grant is being funded with money from federal criminal forfeit.
The two organizations to be receiving the money from the City, from this grant, was not announced.
