Sally Regenhard is an American activist who has become one of the leading voices for the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks. A former long-time resident of Co-op City in The Bronx in New York City who has degrees in behaviorial sciences and gerontology and has worked in the nursing home industry for over 20 years, Regenhard became an advocate for skyscraper safety after the death of her 28-year-old son, Christian, a probationary firefighter with the New York City Fire Department, who perished in the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. ==Activism== Along with her husband Al, her daughter Christina, and Monica Gabrielle, a widow who lost her husband Richard as a result of the collapse of the towers, they founded the Skyscraper Safety Campaign, a national non-profit organization that has four main goals: * Demand a federal investigation (via the use of subpoenas) into the collapse of the World Trade Center, including information on its design, evacuation procedures, and "firefighting techniques". * To promote improved compliance of building and fire codes in New York City and nationwide, and assuring the safety of firefighters and residents (and workers) who reside and work in such structures. * To educate "codes groups" in allowing fire departments in having a say in the building of new skyscrapers. The "code groups" will be assembled by a mixed group of fire services officials and engineers, replacing the present "code groups" who are composed mainly of bureaucrats, builders, and others who have little or no knowledge of fire safety. * To have say and voice in the construction of the Freedom Tower and all other structures built at Ground Zero, thus assuring that newly revised fire safety codes are enforced. Regenhard has also worked to honor her son's legacy. On July 18, 2006, Sally and her family, with the assistance of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, dedicated the ''Christian Regenhard Center for Emergency Response Studies'' at John Jay College of Criminal Justice located in Manhattan. Currently it is a web-based program offered by the college, but it is expected that a permanent building and memorial will be dedicated within a few years.〔("Emergency-Response Center Honors the Spirit of 9/11 Hero Firefighter" ) from ''Scribd'' retrieved August 9, 2011〕 The credits page of Robert Greenwald's viral videos series, ''The REAL RUDY,'' offer "very special thanks to Regenhard.〔(The REAL Rudy Credits )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sally Regenhard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
