FROM THE EDITOR
Dear Readers of The Lowell,
In this magazine, we discuss an issue that was forced to the forefront this summer: sexual assault and harassment. “The fight to stand with survivors” by Sarah Liu, Walker Whalen, and Zoe Simotas delves into last summer’s events and what can be done moving forward to support survivors. This article has been long in the making and has truly required a community effort to gather all the voices and facts and weave them into a united story. As our community continues to navigate tumultuous times and division, The Lowell will continue to strive to ensure all voices in the Lowell community are heard.
