TO ALL CANDIDATES
RUNNING FOR OFFICE
In the weeks immediately following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, our nation
found its footing in great measure because of the extraordinary spirit of unity that brought
us all together as Americans.
We weren’t Red States or Blue States. We were the United States, and we were all Americans.
As we once again approach the anniversary of 9/11, we respectfully request that all
candidates running for elected office remember this remarkable moment of national unity,
and agree to suspend on 9/11 all political advertising, and other campaign-related activities,
in favor of nonpartisan expressions of service, unity and prayer.
We ask you to make this pledge out of respect for the 9/11 families, in tribute to 9/11 victims,
rescue and recovery personnel, and members of our military, and in observance of the
federally-recognized September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, known as
“9/11 Day.”
Over the past 15 years, this 9/11 Campaign Moratorium has been widely supported by many
candidates, including those who ran for President in 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016.
Please confirm your intention to support the 9/11 Campaign Moratorium by making a
public announcement, using #911CampaignMoratorium, or by contacting our organization
through our website at 911day.org.
