April 13, 2021 at 5:14 PM BEDFORD, N.Y. – More than 250 people gathered on the field in front of the C&M Pavilion at Bedford Village Memorial Park on Saturday, April 10, to rally to listen to members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community speak about how the surge in racist attacks against the AAPI community has affected them. The rally was organized by Catherine Caley, a student at Fox Lane High School, along with three other high school- and college-aged members of the AAPI community. They spoke to the crowd about their experiences with racial issues as Asian Americans, along with a list of elected officials and local politicians. Members of the crowd listened and held signs reading “racism is a virus” and “stop AAPI hate.”
