Serving the NY Metro Area

Welcome

When the terrorist attacks on 9/11 hit the World Trade Center, they struck the nerve center of the United States. We who live and work in the New York City area, those of us who survived, experienced the attacks on 9/11 as if they were attacks on our very souls.  We will never forget.  We will never allow them to happen again.

The democratic values of Western Civilization are under ruthless attack from radical Islam. While we honor life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they glorify death, terror and tyranny. This is an enemy that is determined, unappeasable, and intent on imposing its ideology and values on all freedom-loving people everywhere - including the United States.

American Congress for Truth, (ACT), is a tax-exempt 501c(3) foundation established by Brigitte Gabriel, who experienced her own 9/11 for seven years while ducking the bombs and bullets of Muslim fundamentalists during the Lebanese civil war. She is now an American citizen and has taken up the task of alerting America to the dangers of radical Islam.  The sister organization to ACT is ACT! For America, the more politically active branch.  Both are powerful vehicles to help us secure the safety of our great city and nation.  ACT! For America is a non-profit grassroots organization designed to halt the spread of radical Islam in America.  We use education and coordinated political action to defend our democratic values and maintain our nation’s security.

ACT! For America has over 50,000 members nationwide with close to 300 local chapters across the county.  We have a citizen action network that can:

  • Aggressively promote and implement educational programs that teach and enable citizen participation in the defense of America on all levels:  community, city, state, and national.
  • Inform Americans regarding the many faces of radical Islam and effectively mobilize them to protect themselves and their country.
  • Respond quickly to anti-American and anti-Israel media bias and “politically correct” apologists for Islam in the media, academia and politics.
  • Promote public policies and legislation that defend America and democratic values against the terror and tyranny of Islamo-fascism.
  • Hold our elected officials accountable for defeating and protecting the United States and its only democratic ally in the Middle East, the State of Israel.
  • Partner with like-minded organizations to coordinate effective public relations campaigns to speak against media bias and religious bigotry wherever it exists.

Partner with like-minded individuals and organizations to coordinate effective public relations campaigns to speak out against media bias and religious bigotry wherever they exist.   Our partnerships are not limited by religion, race or ethnicity, and are based only on the truths and principles that will secure our country’s liberty and security.
