9/11 Truth Action Project is an organization advancing the conspiracy theory that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were committed by the U.S. government. It calls for a new investigation into the terrorist attacks, believing such an investigation will overturn the factual story of the 9/11 attacks; [1] numerous investigations in fact have uncovered no credible evidence supporting the Action Project’s “false flag” theory.[2]
Wayne Coste currently serves as the chair of the group. Cari Seeger-Henry serves as vice-chair, William Jacoby, Esq. serves as the secretary and the group’s president, and Gail Adams serves as the treasurer. Dave Fura has represented the group in the media.[3]
It is registered as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. According to the group’s 2015 Form 990 tax filing, it raised $33,082. It spent $21,770.42 on grants on things such as travel and seminars. It spent $4,656 on equipment and web hosting fees. Finally, it spent $10,431 on lobbying and grassroots activities. Overall, it spent $40,926 in 2015.[4]
History
The roots of the group were laid in 2014 as 9/11 Truth Outreach Inc.[5] It was the grassroots campaign of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. The two organizations were spun off in 2016 but they still work together on events and presentations. [6]
Programs
The group claims to have a number of chapters all over the country. It holds meetings and gives presentations defending the “inside job” conspiracy theory. It also has an online petition drive calling for a new investigation into the attack. Finally, they produce online videos and documentaries.
U.S. Foreign Policy
9/11 Truth Action Project also protests U.S. foreign policy in general, often working with other so-called anti-war organizations. Most anti-war groups keep their distance and refuse to cooperate with them because the 9/11 “Truther” movement has been discredited.
The group’s leaders are generally critical of the U.S. political process and do not participate. But Wayne Coste donated $50 to the campaign of perennial political candidate Sander Hicks.[7] Hicks is also a 9/11 Truther who failed to qualify to run as a Democrat in New York’s 12th Congressional District.[8]
