9/11 families want Mamdani banned from 25th anniversary ceremony
More than 1,100 people, including at least 300 relatives, signed the appeal as organizers urged the memorial to keep the ceremony nonpolitical.
- Hundreds of 9/11 victims' relatives are petitioning the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to exclude New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero, with the petition collecting more than 1,100 signatures.
- Organizers cited Mamdani's reported associations with figures who minimized the attacks, including Brooklyn imam Siraj Wahhaj and commentator Hasan Piker, along with his reluctance to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada."
- Giovanni Galante, who lost his wife Grace Catherine Galante in the attacks, stated the effort focuses on Mamdani's public record rather than partisan politics; trustee Monica Iken-Murphy added that families deserve a ceremony free from political discomfort.
- With more than 1,100 signatures including at least 300 victims' relatives, the petition formally asks organizers to reconsider Mamdani's attendance. Spokesperson Julie Wood stated the memorial maintains its tradition of welcoming elected officials to simply "bear witness."
- The memorial has not indicated plans to alter its longstanding attendance policies, leaving organizers to continue pressuring the museum to prioritize the expectations of families most directly affected by the 2,977 deaths on September 11, 2001.
