Eight Organizations Plan Rally To Protest 'President Reagan'

A coalition of liberal Harvard groups will stage an early afternoon rally today to protest the election of Republican Ronald Reagan as president.

The "Fight the New Right" rally will take place on the steps of Memorial Church at 1 p.m.

"People are realizing we have to take the initiative, that the left has to make the first advance," Jamie Raskin '83, a member of the Peace Alliance, said.

The Radcliffe-Harvard Peace Alliance, the Harvard Radcliffe Anti-Nuclear Alliance, the South Africa Solidarity Committee, the Gay Students Association, the Boston Alliance Against Registration and the Draft, and other groups organized the rally, Raskin said.

Tacked Up

Raskin said volunteers tacked up posters around the campus last night once it became clear Reagan was sweeping to victory.

"The '80s must produce a coalition of new groups, groups that will take the fight to the right," Raskin said.
