Local healthcare union workers and Manhattan Chinatown residents rallied together in lieu of the anti-Asian violence on May 27.
"Lethal Weapon" star Danny Glover and Reverend Al Sharpton joined the rally and spoke out against Asian hate.
Sharpton told protestors they "can't fight for George Floyd and ignore the hate that is being done in the Asian community," reported AP News.
"We wanted to come to this community so Asian mothers can know that they don't have to fear coming out because they have brothers and sisters that will stand with them," said Sharpton.
