Plans for the rally were prompted by a stabbing and robbery in a Bushwick bodega early Saturday morning, which NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is currently investigating.
Editor’s Note: Corrected on September 7, 6:42 p.m. While Olivares helped to organize the event, he is not its sole organizer.
Organized with help from Samy Nemir-Olivares, district leader for AD 53 and an LGBTQ+ activist, the rally will begin at the site of the crime near the Halsey J starting at 4 p.m.
