Thousands of people of all ages and from all walks of life joined forces Saturday for a rally in Ossining as part of the fight against racism and police violence.

Their signs carried different messages, but protesters wanted everyone to understand that Black Lives Matter.

Greta Ringle, of Ossining, tells News 12 that she is going to be part of the solution by working and learning.

It comes as other protests were held across New York state and the country Saturday in the wake of the death of George Floyd during an encounter with Minneapolis police. The officers have since been charged.
