BROOKLYN, NY — A group of Brooklyn artists and activists is calling on fellow New Yorkers to help form a human rainbow across the Brooklyn Bridge early Tuesday evening, in solidarity with the 50 people murdered in an Orlando gay club over the weekend.

"Dress solidly in one bright color of the rainbow, and show up at the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge at 6:30 p.m.," event creator Jessi Arrington wrote on Facebook. 

"We're going to link arms and show the world that love is brighter and bolder than hate," she wrote. "Every time. Even now."

As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, more than 50 people were listed as planning on attending the event, and nearly 200 more were listed as "interested."

With a couple hundred more humans, the cross-borough rainbow could make for a pretty epic visual.

RSVP here. And head over to the north end of Prospect Park for a vigil at Grand Army Plaza around 7:30 p.m., also in memory of the dozens of innocents who lost their lives to a man full of hatred Sunday morning in Orlando.
