The NYPD has been slow to classify the attacks as hate crimes. "Asian Americans - we work hard and were raised to work hard. This attack is being done by a very small bad actor," said rallygoer Van Le. A solidarity walk was held Saturday night in Chinatown, organized by SafeWalks, to show further support for the Asian community. "We are definitely here to help, in what way we are still finding out," said SafeWalks volunteer Jen Goma. The SafeWalks group was founded just last month by Peter Kerre from Brooklyn to keep locals safe after several women were attacked near his home in Bushwick. Now his focus is on Chinatown after four assaults on Asians.
