New York 1 reports that Brooklyn leaders are getting together to do something about hate crimes.

In light of the recent incident at the Fourth Avenue F Train station, where Assistant Rabbi Uria Ohana of the Massachusetts Chabad Center, was a victim, a coalition of religious and community groups gathered in Brooklyn’s Borough Hall.

Calling themselves, “We Are All Brooklyn,” they gathered in Brooklyn’s Borough Hall to show their opposition to hate crimes and to announce an upcoming event on April 9th called “Stand United Against Hate.”

The event will bring together religious and political leaders from across the city to come together to express bias crimes of any kind.

Faiza Ali from the Council on American-Islamic Relations says the crime against Ohana is one of the reasons religious leaders throughout the city are now taking action.

“Promoting cultural and religious sensitivity may lessen the chance that an occurrence like this one will repeat itself,” said Ali. “Through meaningful interactions and honest conversation, we will build a more peaceful community and we will promote an understanding of diverse cultures”
