Apologies, I am publicizing a press release rather than writing a diary today, but I feel it's needed. September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, which formed shortly after the WTC attacks, has joined with other groups in support of the Park51 project in New York City.
Please pass on the information so that groups you are affiliated with can join the coalition. Individuals can sign the statement of support, link below.

New York Neighbors for American Values Speaks Out in Support of Park51
On Wednesday, Aug. 25, more than 40 prominent organizations, civic groups, leaders and religious and interfaith groups will join together to announce the creation of a coalition in support of religious freedom and diversity and to rebuff the increasingly strident opposition to a proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero. New York Neighbors for American Values embraces the American constitutional values of religious freedom, diversity and equality. We stand together today to reject the crude stereotypes meant to frighten and divide us.
The press conference was at noon today. More info below the fold.
