Letter to the Editors

By Jessica R. Fournier, Julia R. Geiger, Hannah McShea L., and Drisana M. Mosaphir

To the editors:

We, as organizers of Our Harvard Can Do Better, are writing to register protest at your use of our organization's name to castigate Divest Harvard for their civil disobedience in your recent staff editorial. Although Our Harvard Can Do Better takes no position on fossil fuel divestment, it is neither our wish nor our place, as a campaign tackling one particular power structure, to purport to model the sole responsible form of activism on this campus. We respectfully request that you do not cite Our Harvard in this manner in the future.
