ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

12th Street is edited and published by students in the Riggio Honors Program: Writing and Democracy of the undergraduate Writing Program at The New School. We would like to thank Leonard and Louise Riggio, without whom this would not be possible. The gifts of both this essential program and the public platform for our voices are invaluable. We would also like to thank the members of the Advisory Board: Luis Jaramillo, Laura Cronk, and Rene Steinke, for their unwavering support and guidance, and a special thanks to our faculty advisor Emma Komlos-Hrobsky who leads us by example with positivity and professionalism. To John Reed and Ali Osworth for their immeasurable help and technical support in our transition to a digital issue, and to Justin Sherwood and the entire staff of the Writing Office, who have helped us at every turn in this process. A special thanks to Seth Graves for his expertise and generosity with copy editing, and an extra special thank you to Blog Deputy Editor Diana Angelo, who rose above and beyond her role as Blog Deputy Editor to build this issue.

And finally, we would like to thank Brian McMullen, whose invaluable design speaks for itself, and Jeff Biehl for making it all come alive.
