We welcome anyone and everyone, particularly people who live or work at or near Harvard. To get involved, please come to our next meeting or contact one of our point people.

We hold protests on and near the Harvard campus, host speakers, and work to increase visible support on campus for peaceful conflict resolution and avoidance of war. We are registered as a Harvard undergraduate student group, but all are welcome to join in our work.

News and History

• On December 10, 2002, HIPJ held an Anti-War Die-In in Harvard Yard to show solidarity with those civilians who may soon be killed by a US-led preemptive war on Iraq. Over one hundred supporters came and thirty more lay on the ground for an hour in a graphic reenactment of the horrors our country is about to perpetrate. The protest was timed as part of International Human Rights Day.
• On October 7, 2002, the National Student Day of Action included massive rallies around the country, including at Harvard, where eight speakers and over 300 protesters gathered to send the message to Congress not to approve use of force in Iraq.
• HIPJ was founded by a small group of students on the evening of September 11, 2001, with the hope of showing support for peaceful resolution of conflict even in the face of horrific violence.
