Rally!

Hundreds of students have been rallying outside for the past hour, having marched from Cross Campus to outside the Admissions Office, as I post this. All of us inside can hear them, and we know we're all in this together. I went to the window to address the rallying students outside. Several of us spoke to them on the phone, sharing our collective stories. Amazingly, Martha Highsmith physically removed me from the window and closed it, not allowing me to speak, with the concern that "the window is going to fall on your head." But hundreds of students outside and all of us inside saw this moment, and we will not let Yale divide us, whether the window and door are open or whether they are closed. We will not be silenced. What do we want? Aid reform! When do we want it? Now!
