Mayor Defies Petition for 911 Ceremony | US News

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is defying a petition signed by over 25,000 people—including a grieving husband whose wife died in the 9/11 attacks—to attend the upcoming anniversary ceremony. He insists he’s going to honor victims, survivors, and first responders, reaffirming the nation’s enduring remembrance. Petitioners want the day focused purely on solemn tribute and are eyeing city council intervention. The 9/11 Memorial maintains its apolitical stance, noting officials from all parties attend only to witness, without speaking. Mamdani, who has repeatedly condemned the attacks and denied any support for terrorism, remains steadfast in his attendance.
