Families of people killed in the September 11 attacks are circulating a petition seeking to bar New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from attending the 25th anniversary memorial events. According to multiple outlets, the petition is hosted on Change.org and has gathered close to 17,000 signatures by the time of reporting. The families’ stated concerns center on allegations about Mamdani’s views and associations, including claims that he has expressed sympathy toward radical Islamist figures, that he has not condemned antisemitism, and that he has ties to imam Siraj Wahhaj. Fox News and the Washington Times also cite the petition’s reference to Mamdani’s refusal to condemn a “globalize the intifada,” while the New York Post describes Mamdani responding dismissively to the petition on Monday. The outlets report that the controversy is linked to whether the mayor will participate in ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks. None of the sources provide a final decision on the mayor’s attendance in the material provided.
