(Mineola, NY)- In response to the recent uptick in hate crimes across the United States, some Long Islanders gathered Thursday night in Nassau County, to show support for the victims. Community members joined the Nassau County Office of Asian Affairs and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran on the front steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building in Mineola to rally against all acts of hate and discrimination. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, “Nassau County is standing together against the rising tide of Anti-Asian hatred. Although there have been no reported hate crimes targeting Asians in Nassau, the attacks we’re seeing nationwide are unacceptable. Nassau County will continue to work alongside our state and federal partners to combat hatred with action that will deter violence, protect our residents, and educate the public”.
