MacDonald Park
Forest Hills, NY 11375
USA
On February 26th let us come together in MacDonald Park united for freedom and equality against bigotry, intolerance and hate. Queens epitomizes the multi-culturalism of America. Our diversity strengthens, enriches and enlightens. Many in the community are quite fearful with reason but resilient in the face of adversity. There is no place for scapegoating communities as the “other.” In this uncertain time, this is our opportunity to stand together united in solidarity behind #queensvalues.
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor never the tormented.”
–Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate and Holocaust Survivor
Our coalition is growing and will be updated here. MacDonald Park is walking distance from the 71st Street/Continental Avenue Subway Station and the Q60 bus.
