“On this 13th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, New Yorkers stand united in their remembrance for the thousands of lives we lost, in their gratitude for the heroes who have toiled to keep our city and nation safe, as well as in their commitment to embracing diversity over division. As a first responder at Ground Zero on that fateful day, I will never lose focus on what is most important: the safety and security of my city, including all who reside in it. Let us recommit to advancing our emergency preparedness, in every capacity. Moreover, let us tap into that incredible spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood we showed in the weeks after 9/11, heeding President Obama’s call to make this a call to service in our communities.” – Eric Adams, Brooklyn Borough President
“We cannot make it individually, the “seas” are too rough out there. Why do leaders want to hold on to shrinking economies?

We need a regional leadership Think Tank to stimulate a dynamic innovative vision for CARICOM. We must act to nurture new industries or rehabilitate surviving ones otherwise we shall not survive.” – Dr. Basil Springer, Change-Engine Consultant, Caribbean Business Enterprise Trust Inc. (Barbados Advocate)
