On the heels of the Supreme Court’s decision to end affirmative action, a civil rights group is suing Harvard University over legacy admissions. Here’s why they say the practice is discriminatory, and why the lawsuit is necessary after race-based admissions ends.

This weekend some of our members in delivered food, drinks, and hygiene supplies to the community fridge in Harvard Square. We weren't the only ones, either! Other community members brought food in take out containers, single serve yogurts, and much more.

We seem to be the only ones who bring wound care supplies to the pantry, so we will plan to focus a larger portion of our resources on that going forward and possibly expand to large wound care kits. If you'd like to help us buy medical supplies for this or our other distros around Massachusetts, our Cashapp is $aifmedic. Each small wound care kit is $1.60 so any amount helps!
