New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended the 25th anniversary September 11 ceremony at Ground Zero on September 11, 2026, despite calls from some critics to stay away

Marking twenty-five years since the attacks that killed 2,977 people, the ceremony has become contested. A petition led by a victim's widower asks organizers to bar Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who intends to attend and has designated the date a citywide day of remembrance and service.
