9/11 Families Ask NYC Mayor to Skip 25th Anniversary Memorial, Calling It Sacred

Families of 9/11 victims delivered a petition with over 101,000 signatures to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, urging him to skip the 25th anniversary memorial, saying the ceremony should be a private, solemn space for mourners and not a political platform; supporters argue the memorial is sacred while critics cite the mayor’s actions and appointments as justification for the request.
