New York (CNN) -- A Latino advocacy group organized a march through the streets of Staten Island, New York, Wednesday night to protest a string of attacks on Mexican nationals.

Approximately 300 members of Make the Road New York, an alliance of non-profit organizations and area residents, gathered at the intersection where the most recent attack on a Mexican national took place.

The victim of that attack, Alejandro Galindo, was in attendance.

"I hope that the violence will end, that when we are walking to work we don't have to be scared because we're not criminals. If the violence stopped, we will feel very happy because we will feel like human beings walking down the street," he said.
