Mamdani Critics Want to Bar Him Sept. 11 Ceremonies

Nearly 80,000 people signed a petition urging organizers to block Mamdani, while he says he will attend with families and survivors.

  • Nearly 80,000 people signed an online petition urging the National September Memorial & Museum to bar NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani from the 25th anniversary ceremony at the former Twin Towers site in Lower Manhattan.
  • Critics cite Mamdani's alignment with Palestinian groups and his use of the phrase "globalize the intifada" as primary concerns, arguing his associations risk detracting from the solemnity of the day.
  • Signatories including Michael LaRosa, a former official for President Joe Biden, urged organizers to keep the anniversary "free of politics," claiming The Mayor's presence at Ground Zero would divert attention from victims.
  • Despite the mounting criticism, Mamdani plans to attend the ceremony and stand alongside families and survivors during the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
  • Political discourse has intensified, with President Donald Trump drawing backlash for comparing a Michigan election to 9/11, remarks critics labeled "obscene" and inaccurate.
