The Female Fight Club
held their first ever “Witches Ride” in Riverdale on Sunday.
Participants dressed
up as witches and decorated their bikes for the ride – all to support asylum seekers coming to New York.
They donated clothes,
canned foods, and other necessary essentials they say are needed to give
families the ability to move forward as immigrants in this country.
“As
a member of an immigrant family, I think it's very important we support our
people. We have no idea the travesties they’ve gone through and the
hardships. And to just give them a little token to start them off would mean a
great deal to them,” said one attendee.
The
owner of the Female Fight Club tells News 12 she hopes to eventually have more
people next year participate in this bike ride to keep the community involved
and together.
