Twenty-five years ago today, New York City and our nation faced one of its darkest days.
Yet, through the unthinkable darkness, we saw communities coming together like never before. Across the country, families grieved together, total strangers became lifelines, neighbors carried each other, and first responders ran straight into the heartbreak.
That kind of strength doesn't appear out of nowhere in a crisis. It's built in the ordinary, everyday work of showing up for one another.
Today, we remember and honor the lives lost and the overwhelming power of communities choosing not to let each other go.
