About TLR

Mission

True Love Revolution's main efforts focus on outreach to the Harvard undergraduate community. We seek, through publicity and campus events, to promote respectful and open-minded discussion of issues relating to abstinence, sex and marriage.

We aim to cooperate with other student and campus health organizations to incorporate information about the benefits of abstinence into existing programs, working together to promote student wellbeing.
