Maria Alvarez, 14, 8th grader at the Wetherbee Middle school marched because she feels there is too much injustice towards Lawrence. “People are going to realize we have a voice. We’re have something worth fighting for,” she said.

Since the Boston Magazine article titled “Lawrence, MA: City of the Dammed” was published on February 29th, 2012, outraged Lawrence residents have been working on a solution to prove that there is much more positive going on in the city than Jay Atkinson suggests in the article. On March 1st, community leaders and concerned Lawrencians met at Cafe Verde on Essex street to create a strategy to tell the world that Lawrence is fighting back. They have established a movement called “We are Lawrence” and it’s first action is a march around the city on Tuesday March 13th, 2012, dressed like zombies in response to the claim that Lawrence is “city of the damned.” Then, on Wednesday, the group plans to head to Boston to protest outside the Boston Magazine building. They encourage all proud Lawrence residents to join them.
