Mayor Mamdani, joined by 9/11 survivors, electeds, activists & Jon Stewart, announces release of air quality records showing officials knew the air around Ground Zero was dangerous. “People got sick bc the leaders they trusted lied & told them it was safe to breathe, he says.

Mamdani does not lay blame specifically on former Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg, saying instead: “I wish there was a limited number of people who mislead the public that I could describe them in just a few names.”

Mayor Giuliani has the nerve to say that Mamdani shouldn’t attend the 9/11 remembering events! He knew that the air around ground zero was dangerous but he remained silent.

You mean these three guys lied about the toxic air quality after 9/11? Maybe Giuliani, Pataki and Bloomberg shouldn't go to the 25th memorial this week

He’s trying to take attention away from the normal 9/11 tributes to those who died on 9/11. It’s been 25 years - he could have waited for this release. He wants America to hate the officials who led the recovery effort. Congratulations on being used.

@jonstewart has long fought for the first responders of 9/11, who were otherwise left aside by Congress, which didn't permanently reauthorize the VCF until 2019. Many responders have paid with their lives and limbs for that inaction. 911memorial.org/connect/blog…

A History of the Fight to Secure Funding for 9/11 Victims

Why Jon Stewart was so frustrated on Tuesday when he lobbied lawmakers, once again, over the treatment of emergency workers at Ground Zero.

While Trump is spinning fake stories about his own supposed role during 9/11, Mamdani releases the truth about what the heroic firefighters, police and rescue workers went through at Ground Zero. That’s leadership! 👍

Asbestos remediation would have drained World Trade Center owner Larry Silverstein. Lucky for Larry, the THREE towers all fell on 9/11. Instead of asbestos removal cost,he collected an insurance claim for billions!

It was safe to breathe??? Dangerous around ground zero?? What fools you are! NEWS FLASH - YOU don’t think those who rushed in to help WERE AWARE? What you will never understand is this is the very definition of heroism when you put yourself at risk, put yourself last, to help others!

Don't remember anyone telling me air was safe to breathe and I assumed it wasn't but my company at the time wanted me back in the office the next day even though they were located at 85 Broad St which was very close to ground zero!

OMG 🚨 9/11 Families are BLASTING Mayor Mamdani to STAY AWAY from the 9/11 Ceremony as 100,000 Signatures. "Mamdani is as much as against them as those terrorists were on the day they lost their loved ones" Mamdani should stay the hell away.
