Protesters took a stand against discrimination in Queens Friday.
Activists rallied in Jackson Heights in response to a spike in bias crimes around the city since the election.
The NYPD says hate crimes are up significantly for November compared to a year earlier.
Police say there were 28 hate crimes from November 8 through November 21. That's more than four times higher than the same period last year.
Year-to-date, as of November 27, there have been 350 hate crimes, compared to 261 in 2015.
Activists say they want to provide a safe space for everyone.
"Moving information and putting ourselves out there, and that signals to people like Donald Trump that we're here to stay, we're not going anywhere and we're not afraid.
"My partner is an immigrant. We've been married for three years in a week-and-a-half from now. And I want us to be able to be safe as we are, as an immigrant family, as gay people, as New Yorkers," said one person at the protest.
After the rally, the protesters marched to Corona Plaza.
