Lori Honor is a business owner on Staten Island who's speaking out against the outcome of the presidential election.

"People need to speak up against injustices like misogyny and the racial divide that are now represented in our White House," Honor said.

Honor is among the mosaic of community leaders, clergy and residents who rallied on the steps of Borough Hall, in solidarity.

Kevin Elkins organized Saturday's rally and says it's a declaration to stand-up for values and principles.​

"It's about committing ourselves to staying involved, making a difference standing up, when we feel the President-Elect does the wrong thing, and frankly a lot of people are worried he's going to be doing the wrong things that will set and undermine a lot of the progress that's been made over the past 8 years," Elkins said.

Many rally participants echoed the same sentiments that President-Elect Trump has already taken steps back by insulting the immigrant population, one that is significant in Staten Island.

"Donald Trump said some mean things that are threatening to the core of what America's all about," community activist Kelly Vilar said.

Staten Islanders at the rally said they will not let fear dictate their lives for the next four years.

"He might have won the election, but the politics of fear will not win on Staten Island," a local minister said.

"After today, I'm empowered I think it's scary place to be, I've voted for several presidents in my adult life and I've never felt like this," Vilar said.

Together, the participants say they will stand-up, organize and rally to preserve America's morals and values.

"We don't want to go backwards, this is not about, this is not against Trump, it's about making sure America continues to be the best and brightest country in the world," Elkins said.

"We need to get out the vote for next term, and two years starts today, Honor said.

They say they will continue to push forward, together, to make the United States a better country.
