WHAT IS HARVARD FORWARD?
In order to face the challenges of the 21st century, Harvard needs fresh perspectives at the table.
Help us elect 3 recent alumnae to the Board of Overseers to move Harvard forward.
We're a campaign created by concerned alumni. We're working to elect three candidates to the Harvard Board of Overseers in 2021 on a platform that pushes Harvard to live up to the University's ideals. This includes:
1.
Becoming a climate leader through divestment from fossil fuels, climate education and research, and on-campus sustainability initiatives.
2.
Tackling racial injustice through our educational programs, university-wide anti-racism initiatives, and divestment from the prison-industrial complex.
3.
Aligning our investments with our values by creating more transparent and robust socially responsible investment guidelines.
4.
Making our governance more inclusive by increasing representation of recent alumni and giving a voice to students, workers, and faculty.
