Attendees tell News 12 that many have not had the opportunity to grieve due to coronavirus restrictions on funerals. Many wore yellow to honor the lives lost.
They walked side-by-side across the Brooklyn Bridge as part of largest nationwide day of awareness and action for COVID-19 survivors. They're calling on lawmakers to support the ongoing needs for survivors.
The march ended in Manhattan.
