    Thoughts on sending a text message about this today or tomorrow
    morning? We haven't sent anything since last week. I'd like to send
    at least 1-2 a week...<br>

    <div>The No Layoffs Campaign will picket outside of Lamont Library,
      the undergraduate library where <b>Occupy Harvard </b>has set up
      its temporary, targeted occupation, to call attention to the
      University's draconian policies.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>Harvard's libraries are still reeling from the staff cuts of
      2008. That the library "restructuring" involves buyouts &
      layoffs has come as a shock to many who say that their departments
      are already incredibly understaffed.</div>
    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div>Harvard administration has announced a plan to restructure the
      library system that will make libraries “more efficient” which
      will include a “smaller workforce.” The jobs of hundreds of staff
      currently employed by the libraries are threatened; measures
      include cuts and restructuring by “voluntary and involuntary
      means.” High unemployment rates make finding a new job nearly
      impossible, especially for older workers, who are being
      incentivized to leave "or else".  Harvard’s endowment grew 21%
      last year, to $32 billion, and the library operating costs
      represent only 3.3% of the annual budget.</div>

    <div>Support the union of clerical workers and nonunionized Harvard
      employees, including our research librarians!</div>
