It's been 2 weeks since the City of Lowell's Listening Session, but are they listening?


On June 23, 2020, over 1100 Lowell organizations and community members submitted a letter urging the City of Lowell to declare Racism a Public Health Crisis (signatures are now over 1450): https://bit.ly/RacismIsAHealthCrisis


On June 24, 2020, community members from Lowell shared their experiences with racism at the City's Listening Session: https://www.ltc.org/news/lowell-listening-session/


On Tuesday, July 14, 2020, the City Council will vote on a motion to declare racism a public health crisis in the City of Lowell. There is an alternate motion that commits to no actual change in business as usual.


Join us at 4:30pm to hear community members call on the city of Lowell to declare racism a public health crisis. Be heard!


FACE MASKS & SOCIAL DISTANCING will be required. Please wear BLACK & BROWN clothing (if you have).


Rain or shine.
