After the 9/11 attacks, rescue and recovery worker John Feal took on a new role as an advocate for the people suffering and dying from exposure to toxic air at and around Ground Zero. His forthcoming book, "I Will Follow You Anywhere: The True Story of the 9/11 Responders Who Took on Congress," shares stories of those who lobbied and testified before Congress about 9/11 health effects. Feal will join Michael O'Connell, a retired FDNY firefighter, Rupa Bhattacharyya, a Georgetown Law Professor, and Dr. Jacqueline Moline, Director of the Northwell Health Queens WTC Health Program, in a conversation about civic advocacy with 9/11 Memorial & Museum President & CEO Beth Hillman.
