The sun illuminates a sign during a “Stop Asian Hate” rally in Pittsburgh’s Oakland section on Saturday, March 20, 2021. The rally was held to protest the increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans.

Several hundred people gathered in Oakland on Saturday for a “Stop Asian Hate” rally.

The rally, organized by Thrash the State, was held to protest an increase in violence against Asian Americans.

Actress Sandra Oh, who is in town filming the Netflix series, “The Chair,” made a surprise appearance.

A portion of Forbes Avenue was blocked off for about two hours as several people, including Oh, spoke and shared their experiences with the crowd. The group then marched to the Carnegie Mellon University campus.
