NDP Statement on the 22nd Anniversary of 9/11 and the National Day of Service « Canada’s NDP

September 11, 2023 at 2:00 am  Federal, Politics

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh made the following statement:

“Twenty-two years ago today, the world watched in horror as the United States was struck with the deadliest terrorist attack in its history. Hundreds of first responders risked their lives to save those trapped in the World Trade Centre and thousands of Americans needlessly lost their loved ones on that tragic day.

People across our country and around the world opened their doors to help Americans stranded far from home. In the face of unthinkable, senseless violence, the world showed empathy and love to those in need.

In the spirit of National Day of Service, New Democrats honour all who acted selflessly on that day. Let this day be a time to recommit to building a more inclusive, compassionate world and use hope to guide us through precarious times. It’s on all of us to counter hate, wherever it occurs, to stand up relentlessly against extremism. Let us never forget what happened today. Let us remember all those who lost their loved ones and strive to build a world where horrific events like these never happen again.”
