DESCRIPTION:
September 11th survivor and the last man out of the World Trade Center, William Rodriguez, will share his harrowing story of courage, strength and hope.

7PM - FRIDAY AUGUST 17, 2007

Immanuel Presbyterian Church 3300 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles 90010

A TRUE HERO ON 9/11 AND BEYOND

Declared a hero for saving numerous lives at Ground Zero, he was the janitor on duty the morning of 9/11 who heard and felt explosions rock the basement sub-levels of the north tower just seconds before the jetliner struck the top floors. His testimony, which was omitted from the 9/11 Commission, absolutely destroys the government’s official story because it means that explosives must have been placed in the buildings. Several eyewitnesses who were on the scene also claim they heard multiple explosions before the buildings collapsed.

At great risk to his own life, William re-entered the Towers three times after the first, North Tower impact and is believed to be the last person to exit the North Tower alive, surviving the building's collapse by diving beneath a fire truck. After receiving medical attention at the WTC site for his injuries, he then spent the rest of the day aiding as a volunteer in the rescue efforts, and at dawn the following morning, was back continuing his heroic efforts.

FIGHTING FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS

In addition to being a spokesperson for the New York City first responders (leading the cause for compensation issues and rights) William is also active in the movement for immigrant rights. When he sensed that Latino survivors and relatives of victims of the attacks were not receiving adequate attention from support groups or relief programs because of cultural and linguistic gaps, he helped form a splinter group just for them. He was a major force behind the campaign to encourage non-documented immigrant survivors and relatives of victims to come forward for help without fear of deportation. The group also raised funds for scholarships for children of immigrants killed or maimed in the attacks.

SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER

William believes that now is the time for all people to stand up and speak the truth, even if it can be a scary endeavor. In addition to testifying in front of the 9/11 Commission, he is also the lead plaintiff in a federal RICO lawsuit filed against President Bush and others, alleging conspiracy to commit murder and other crimes in the deaths of more than 3,000 people at the WTC.

Please consider joining us as William Rodriguez tells his story live Friday August 17, 2007 at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church located at 3300 Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles. There will be a donation request of per person. The program begins at 7pm. To view the trailer from William’s new film The Last Man Out visit http://youtube.com/watch?v=0DEUzuzqSLQ
