Young people across the world will be protesting in the streets, and we will stand together to demand that this war end immediately. We ask that you join your peers in Harvard Yard at 2:30pm to express your rejection of this war and hope for peace. Let us remember the hundreds of thousands who have died. And in this remembrance, let us not find fuel for vengeance, but rather the inspiration to work together to a build a world of greater...
