Thanks to @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social!

"The proposed brief represents the largest-scale show of alumni support since Harvard filed suit against the White House in April, adding to a growing chorus of outside groups rallying behind the University."

The class of 1970: heroes! Their time at Harvard saw student rebellions across the country, including at Harvard. Here they are at their 55th reunion today, holding up Crimson Courage stickers and postcards. So to the class of 1970: thanks for sharing your hard-won experience with us. Cheers!

Thanks to our volunteers, we are on our way to 10,000 alumni signatures on our amicus brief: over 5,800 so far. If you haven’t signed, please do (see crimsoncourage.com) and if you already have, please share with alumni of any Harvard school! Here’s a sharing toolkit: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Fellow Harvard alumni: our alma mater is under attack. The government is threatening its independence, cutting research funding, and undermining free inquiry.

We've added our names to an amicus brief defending Harvard’s values and freedoms. Join us here: bit.ly/HarvardAmicusBrief
