MARINE PARK — Hundreds from all over the city rallied in solidarity outside the Kings Plaza Mall Sunday afternoon in an effort to make their collective voices heard — hoping to send a message to the mayor, governor, and city council — regarding immigration policies. 

Billed as a bipartisan event, the rally was themed “Save Our Communities: New Yorkers Come First.” The rally featured several guest speakers, including a number of elected officials and civic leaders. It began on Kimball Street, with participants marching up Avenue U toward Flatbush Avenue vehemently chanting, “We come first!” and “Save our city!” 

Upon reaching their destination, Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” could be heard mercilessly blasting from the speakers surrounding the makeshift stage as a multitude of American flags all waved in unison.
