Thanks for signing our petition, which has been delivered directly to President Garber, Secretary to the Board of Overseers and to The Harvard Corporation Marc Goodheart, VP of Alumni Affairs and Development Jim Husson, and Executive Director of the Alumni Association Sarah Karmon.
We write to you with a couple of updates today. First, we want to share Harvard Magazine's coverage of several petitions including ours: "Encouraging Harvard to Resist".
Second, we want to ask you to please share the petition with your Harvard alumni friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors. We know that Harvard leadership is aware of the petition and of the fact that numbers continue to grow. We are committed to continuing to add as many signers as possible, at least until Harvard formally responds to the outrageous demands of the Trump administration. In addition to sharing the petition link with others, here are two links to social media posts that we'd love for you to like/comment on/share to drive awareness of the petition:
- Facebook Harvard Alumni group (14,000+ members): Helen Fairman's post (look for the same "Alumni Demand Resistance Against Tyranny" image that is used here)
- Reddit r/Harvard (45,000+ members): Post entitled "Please sign alumni letter to Corp and Overseers to resist trump's tyranny" (not posted by us but on our behalf)
If you would like to take further steps, please email your thoughts directly to Alan Garber at president@harvard.edu.
Thank you and stay strong!
Helen Fairman '91 and David Huang '97
