New E-mail List Acts Up

Want to hear about progressive causes on campus? Looking for a new way to publicize your activism-related organization's events?

Subscribe to the new Harvard Activist List, an e-mail listserv for sharing information about campaigns, rallies, and progressive events on campus,

Moderator Sandra Y.L. Korn '14 defined activists as "people advocating their causes and trying to change policy and get legislations passed."

After talking to leaders of several activist groups last semester, Korn decided to create a unified group in order to consolidate activism-related announcements.

To prevent spam, the listserv will enforce several rules, such as limiting subscribers to sending no more than two posts about the same event and requiring that all posts include the name of the organization behind them.

Over 100 students have signed up for the list.

The Activist List is active—the listserv has already seen e-mails about a rally tomorrow protesting the return of ROTC to Harvard, a teach-in on universal health care, Tuesday's "Feminist Coming Out Day" events, and more.
