Many say they chose to speak out in hopes that others choose peace over violence, and Gov. Hochul encouraged New Yorkers to come together.
Volunteers also offered to walk anyone who felt unsafe home.
This comes after many hate crimes have taken place after sundown. A moment of silence was also held for Christina Yuna Lee who was killed last month.
