Queens Neighborhood Holds Rally In Solidarity With Asian-American Community
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A Queens neighborhood held a rally Saturday in solidarity with the Asian-American community.
The anti-hate rally was in Bliss Plaza in Sunnyside.
It follows a series of attacks on Asian Americans in New York City.
Community members say it's a cycle that must end.
"Asian hate is a hatred designed to divide and ruin, and we have seen this in the past, in the present, and we don't want this to exist in the future," one speaker at the rally said.
The NYPD added 200 new surveillance cameras this week as part of the mayor's Hate Crimes Action Plan.
