Thank You! - Statement from the Grewal Family of Hardwick, NJ

[Kire]

Arianna, Alina and Gary would like to thank you for participating in the Hardwick ?Unity March,? physically or in spirit. Thanks for caring!!! The ?Yes we care chant? still rings in our ears. Your support by being here goes a long way in restoring our faith and belief in our community and our wonderful country.
The rally was a powerful message, especially to Arianna, that we are not alone as she starts to live her normal life again.

The hundreds of people who were here sent a very strong signal that such bias and racist crimes are not accepted in the world we live in now. We are all Americans and as Americans we are free to choose our beliefs, our values, our religion, where we live and whom we vote for. No citizen has the right to dictate to others how they should live. If these cowards thought we were going to roll over and play dead they had another thing coming. They WILL catch them and bring them to justice.

Again, thank you for your sincere support and have a wonderful holiday season!!
