The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition is a group of "family members, first responders, active and reserve members of the military, veterans, and concerned Americans" affected by the events of 9/11. Earlier this morning, the group held a press conference to announce a planned protest in opposition to the civilian trials of KSM and other 9/11 conspirators on U.S. soil. The protest is scheduled to take place in New York on December 5:

The Coalition formed to fight the decision of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in New York Citys federal court, effectively giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of all New Yorkers. Two weeks ago, we sent a letter signed by 300 family members of 9/11 victims to the president, attorney general and Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking them to reverse course. The letter has now been signed by over 120,000 Americans and is posted at http://www.keepamericasafe.com.
