Chirlane McCray, the wife of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is encouraging citizens to “show up” and “physically intervene” if they witness incidents of violence and harassment against fellow New Yorkers.
“As attacks on Asian American communities continue, we’re asking New Yorkers to show up for their neighbors and intervene when witnessing hateful violence or harassment. I know that can be frightening when you aren’t sure what to do or say, but you can learn,” McCray tweeted Saturday.
McCay posted a lengthy thread offering step-by-step guidance on how citizens should act when witnessing such incidents.
