"It will be a relief to me when my alma mater finally gets on the right side of history, as it surely will sooner or later. It has been painful and disheartening to see Harvard fighting so hard for the deadly fossil fuel status quo, instead of for the future of humanity and of all life on this planet."

"These are moral imperatives. It is time for Harvard to lead."

"Harvard desperately needs leaders like the Harvard Forward Five who will step forward and step up to the biggest challenges facing young leaders and the broader community Harvard serves."

“Harvard Forward is the way to move forward. In today’s uncertain world, we need leadership which makes tomorrow the priority by taking actions today.”

"Harvard has a chance not only to land, but to lead on the right side of history. Make sure it does so by supporting Harvard Forward."

"At the rate things are going, Harvard will probably appoint a committee to study divestment once Harvard Yard is underwater on a sunny day. Let's accelerate that timetable."

"From the Age that is past I say, Fair Harvard: divest now so that you will be an inspiration to the Age that is waiting before."

"Fresh thinking and new perspectives are vital as Harvard responds to the most important challenges we face today. Support Harvard Forward. "

“Harvard must demonstrate ethical leadership and defend truth – Veritas – by divesting from fossil fuels. Vote the Harvard Forward candidate slate when you get your ballot this April!”

“To save the planet, we all need to change our habits now - Harvard included!"

"Harvard taught me to be a scientific leader on environmental issues, so it has been disheartening to see them abdicate leadership in the climate debate. That's why I am so happy to support Harvard Forward and help put Harvard on the right side of history."

"I wholeheartedly support the Harvard Forward Five. Given the existential threat of climate change, Harvard's fossil-fuel investments need to find their way quickly to sustainable alternatives. I believe universities that know how to listen to younger alumni tend to make better decisions."

“I hope that you join me in voting for these five candidates for the Board of Overseers.”

“Turns out existential threats are real. Noted. Seems like we ought to vote green.”

"There’s no more time to defy the science. Harvard should be leaning into the global climate crisis, using all its resources to help solve this problem. Please vote for the Harvard Forward Five and together we can help re-direct the ship."

"It's important for Harvard to be a leader in the fight for our future. Let's create change together by voting for the Harvard Forward Five."

"Harvard can no longer shy away its responsibility to use its resources and persuasive power to confront the crisis of this generation: climate change."

"The Harvard Forward Five will bring commitment to protecting our planet's environment by addressing climate change to the leadership of Harvard, a world-class institution."
