Harvard's appeal means another expensive legal fight. California farmers need to raise $25,000 by October 10 to stop Harvard's water grab. It's important that we show up for frontline communities in this way. Please help by sharing this thread and donating what you can!

Earlier this year, Harvard students & alumni came together to support California farmers fighting Harvard's water grab. Dozens of you joined to listen to frontline communities & give testimony at the Santa Barbara hearing. We won - BUT Harvard has appealed the decision.

We are on HOUR FOUR of this hearing. The opposition to Harvard's project is overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who is staying on to support Cuyama farmers' testimony.

"Harvard hides its actions behind a web of companies that it has created. ... If Santa Barbara County ever wants to hold Harvard accountable for their actions with the vineyards in the future, it will be extremely difficult to do so." -Hannah, @StopHLG organizer
