ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The New Americans Advisory Council organized a "Stop Asian Hate" rally at the Maplewood YMCA in Rochester.
The Stop Asian American Pacific Islander Hate Reporting Center reported there were nearly 3,800 hate incidents in the US against Asian people within the last year.
"In the 2015, I was a victim of hate. My father was a victim of hate and I can name dozens of people that have faced the hatred towards our community. I'm thankful people are finally noticing," said Bijaya Khadka, founding chair of the New Americans Advisory Council.
