The claim that the petition to ban Zohran Mamdani from the 9/11 anniversary has over 15,000 signatures is false because multiple reliable sources report the petition has between about 1,100 and 6,000 signatures as of late July 2026, with no evidence supporting a figure as high as 15,000.

The reporting
What the Evidence Shows
Multiple independent news sources and reports consistently indicate that the petition to exclude New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from the 25th anniversary memorial of 9/11 has gathered signatures ranging from just over 1,100 to around 6,000. For example, early reports from i24NEWS and Capitalism Institute cite approximately 1,100 signatures within a week. The Jerusalem Post and Twitchy report numbers between 5,000 and over 6,000 signatures as of late July 2026.
Other sources such as Yahoo News and PJ Media mention figures around 2,000 signatures. None of the credible sources reviewed mention or confirm that the petition has reached or exceeded 15,000 signatures. The highest verified count is slightly above 6,000 signatures.
Therefore, the claim that it is now over 15,000 is not supported by available evidence.
