9/11 Families Demand Mayor Mamdani Be Barred from 25th Anniversary Ceremony at Ground Zero Families of victims are calling for NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be kept away from the sacred 25th anniversary remembrance at the former World Trade Center site, describing him as an “unwelcome guest.” A petition launched by victims’ relatives has already gathered more than 1,100 signatures, including at least 300 from families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001. Organizer Giovanni Galante, whose wife Grace was among the nearly 3,000 killed, said: “Our objection is based on his public record — his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America ‘deserved’ the attacks.” (Video: AI) “This day is sacred to us,” Galante added. “It is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate.” The petition cites Mamdani’s associations with figures who have downplayed the attacks or expressed sympathy for extremists, as well as his appointments and endorsements of individuals with controversial records related to 9/11 and terrorism. Monica Iken-Murphy, whose husband was killed that day and who helped create the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, signed the petition and stressed that the anniversary should remain focused on the families: “I don’t want families to feel uncomfortable. Others can come a different day, but let the families have their time.” The 9/11 Memorial & Museum said it works to keep the ceremony free of politics. The mayor’s office has not commented. Families of 9/11 victims deserve the right to mourn their loved ones in peace, without the presence of Mayor Mamdani or members of his administration.

MAMDANI GOT THE MESSAGE. He was warned to stay away from the 9/11 Memorial, and judging by the look on his face, that warning landed a little harder than expected. One stare. One sentence. Total panic. The rooftop didn’t need rain after that… Mamdani apparently brought his own weather system. Respect the 9/11 families. Respect the memorial. And somebody get that man a dry pair of pants.

Mamdani is under fire after a symbolic 9/11 pen was handed to a former al Qaeda defense lawyer. After signing an executive order designating 9/11 a citywide day of remembrance, the pen was handed to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem. Kassem previously represented a convicted al Qaeda member whose brother-in-law was one of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which struck the Pentagon on 9/11. The moment is adding to the criticism Mamdani is already facing over his participation in 9/11 remembrance events.

Jamie Pila: Mamdani’s Presence at the 9/11 Memorial Would Be Disrespectful Jamie Gartenberg Pila never met her father. James Gartenberg was murdered on the 86th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001 — six months before she was born. She now serves as a lone soldier in the Israel Defense Forces and still carries a locket with his photo. This week she made her position on Mayor Zohran Mamdani clear. “Mamdani has downplayed the fact that this was an act of terrorism against the United States and democracy,” Jamie said. She specifically cited his 2017 rap song that glorified the “Holy Land 5,” who were convicted of providing material support to Hamas. “This is one occurrence that makes me feel his presence at the ceremony would be disrespectful to the victims and their families.” (Video: AI) Jamie believes the 25th anniversary memorial at Ground Zero is a place for remembrance, not politics. She is asking the mayor to stay home. I stand with Jamie and all of the families of the victims of 9/11 who want to be able to mourn their lost loved ones in peace.

Mamdani Ignores 9/11 Families’ Clear Request Hundreds of 9/11 victims’ relatives have asked NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stay away from the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero. They describe his presence as that of an “unwelcome guest” at a sacred gathering. When asked Monday about their plea, Mamdani read from a prepared script: “I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them… reaffirming that we will never forget.” (Video: AI) Giovanni Galante, whose wife Grace was killed that day, spoke for many when he said: “This day is sacred to us. It is not political… His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate.” The families who lost the most have spoken. Their wishes deserve more than a scripted reply.

9/11 Families Urge Mamdani to Skip 25th Anniversary Ceremony More 9/11 family members are calling on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stay away from this year’s 25th anniversary memorial at Ground Zero. Maureen Santora, whose 23-year-old son Christopher was the youngest firefighter killed that day, said: “He has never supported the 9/11 community – ever. His presence is detrimental to the purpose of why we gather together: to honor the people who died on September 11th and to remember them in a respectful, dignified way. This is not a political day.” (Video: AI) She added that he is “a divisive individual” and “not a person that should be present at a somber ceremony to remember people who were murdered by terrorists.” Mamdani has also associated closely with individuals linked to past terror cases, including Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, as seen in this AI video. The wishes of the 9/11 families need to be honored. Mamdani should stay away and let them mourn in peace.

Ground Zero is not a campaign stop. It is sacred ground. When families who lost loved ones on 9/11 are publicly asking Mayor Zohran Mamdani to stay away, that deserves to be heard. Nearly 100,000 people have signed a petition opposing his attendance, while Mamdani says he still intends to go. This shouldn’t be about ego, politics, or proving a point. September 11 belongs first to the victims, the families, the survivors, and the first responders who still carry that day with them. Showing up against the wishes of grieving families risks turning a solemn memorial into a political spectacle. That would be disgraceful. Sometimes character is revealed by knowing when to step forward. Sometimes it’s revealed by knowing when to stay away. We’re about to see which one this is.
