New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New Yorkers of all faiths on Thursday participated in a tribute to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. 

Approximately 100 people joined the Children of Abraham Peace Walk, the New York Post reported

The peace walk was created for people to “come together to remember those we’ve lost, and to recommit to our shared vision of safety in solidarity,” according to an online flyer.

Amid calls for him to skip the ceremonies altogether, Mamdani only came for the end of the commemoration at the Islamic Center of New York City. 

The walk started at the Hebrew Union College before stopping by Judson Church, and then continued on to the Islamic Center, where Mamdani delivered remarks remembering the victims of 9/11 and thanking first responders for their service.
