Petition from 9/11 families asks NYC Mayor not to attend remembrance ceremony [3ECWfawvXED]
An online petition has been started calling for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend the 25th 9/11 remembrance ceremony. As of Tuesday morning, there were more than 23,000 signatures on the petition. "We felt that having Mamdani there would show a disrespect to our family members because of the people he supports," 9/11 widower Giovanni Galante said. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum said, in part, "We have intentionally worked to keep the commemoration free of politics. Government officials from across the political spectrum have attended the ceremony simply to bear witness."
