He carried that same refusal into eight terms in Congress: 341 floor speeches against the Iraq War, articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney, and a two-decades-long push for a cabinet-level Department of Peace that's never passed — but never died either.</p><p>Twenty-five years after 9/11, Kucinich is arguably the leading Democrat in America still willing to talk publicly about Building 7 and call for a new congressional investigation. On September 6th, he brings that record to Fifteenth Street Friends Meeting in Manhattan, a Quaker meetinghouse whose Peace Testimony lines up with his own life's work. Host Sander Hicks makes the case for why this free event is worth showing up for.</p><p><br></p><p>Use: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/peace-activists-resist-25-years-of-the-911-wars-tickets-1996357090799?aff=oddtdtcreator &lt;for&gt; more info on 9/6/26 Event</p>","author_name":"Sander Hicks"}
