Watch NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Remarks on 9/11 and the "Sacred Obligation to Those Who Were Stolen From Us"

Mamdani urged New Yorkers to remember the nearly 3,000 victims and the thousands who later died from 9/11-related illnesses.

  • On Friday, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani attended the 25th anniversary ceremony at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum, honoring nearly 3,000 victims and those who died from toxic-air illnesses.
  • Leading up to the event, conservative politicians including former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and City Council members Vickie Paladino and Joann Ariola opposed Mamdani's participation, citing his Muslim faith as a reason he did "not belong."
  • Mamdani honored the 2,753 victims, calling them "2,753 universes gone in an instant," and praised New Yorkers who "cared for strangers" during the tragedy 25 years ago.
  • Dignitaries including former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden attended, and Mamdani was seen shaking hands with Giuliani despite earlier political tensions.
  • This year's ceremony introduced a seventh moment of silence for those who died of 9/11-related illnesses, as deaths from related health issues have likely surpassed the number of victims on September 11.
