Summary
A coalition of 9/11 victims’ relatives, first responders and elected officials gathered at New York City Hall on Tuesday to ask Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend this year’s Ground Zero memorial.
Charles Wolf, who lost his wife in the 2001 attacks, said Mamdani had not supported families and was seeking to attend for himself rather than out of service to them.
Speakers stressed the Sept. 11 ceremony is a private event and said the mayor’s presence would revive trauma for families and responders.
The appeal sets up a public clash days before the annual memorial over who should be present at one of New York’s most sensitive commemorations.
