Today at 2 p.m., the steps of City Hall in Jersey City will become a rally stage for the #StopAsianHateJC rally, to gather community members in solidarity of stopping the rise of violence against the Asian American community that has shocked the nation in recent weeks.

According to a report in the Jersey Journal, a  Jersey City police and fire dispatcher died on Wednesday after being admitted to the hospital with Covid-19. His death, apparently, follows a Covid-19 outbreak at the Jersey City Public Safety Communications Center. A city spokeswoman has confirmed the death but said that it “hasn’t been determined” that it was coronavirus-related.
