Help WORKING-CLASS Harvard Student Beat Injustice & Graduate

Hi everyone. My name is William. I'm a doctoral candidate at Harvard University.

But, first and foremost, I'm just a regular working-class kid from Los Angeles whose parents who worked hard, and sacrificed everything, to get me this far.

Here's the thing: I need your help to finish what I came here to do. Your financial support will help pay the expenses required to complete my final year, which as you'll learn Harvard has made impossible for me to do--blocking all my other sources of funding, and do so for years with targeted harassment, made-up obstacles, retaliation, illegal conduct, and other unfair mistreatment.

Why? Your guess is as good as mine, but I think you'll have a pretty good idea after watching my videos and listening to my podcast about being a regular, middle- and working-class person in places like this.

In other words: I'm not alone. But I'm definitely one of the quote-unquote "extra lucky" ones to get an extra "serving" of this second-class treatment from Harvard. They've done almost anything to prevent me from completing this important accomplishment.

Over my time here--a whopping 13 years, delayed by all of these manufactured obstacles--Harvard has engaged in long list of unfair, harmful, targeted, costly, and even illegal actions against me. All of them have been unmerited and undeserved actions. I tell these stories in my current and future updates and videos. You'll be appalled.

And, now, after putting up with years of Harvard making things 5 or 10 times harder for me, they've tried everything to get rid of me. Silence me. Give me the boot. Push me out the back door.

Here's the worst part: it's because of their own mistakes.

And they've done, and are doing, everything they can to keep it (and me) quiet about it.

Harvard won't even lend me the money (or, better put, the United States' Government's money) to do it. That is, after bankrupting me first--literally--through their own irresponsible actions. After years of lavishly and readily loaning me--literally--hundreds of thousands of dollars, when it was convenient and was to their benefit.

They've used every flimsy, made-up excuse in the book--for several years in row--to gradually "starve me out." Deny me funding I'm entitled too, literally, under federal law. In the process: slowing me down, hampering my progress, distracting me from the task I came here to do--and extending my time at Harvard (and therefore cost, in time and money) while I continue to fight one phony, made-up problem, or extra hoop to jump through, after another.

I'm not above being poor. I'm proud of my working-class roots and work ethic. Sure, Harvard has made me live much poorer than I ever did growing up. But, thankfully, I know how to survive while dealing with people who don't believe in you, and oftentimes also are actively trying to stop you from improving yourself--by making things harder, trying to intimidate you, and singling you out for harassment.

And, trust me, I'm not above working a job either. But they've even made that harder--by allowing, even facilitating, the destruction of my professional, academic, and personal reputation by siding with (proven) false accusers, criminals, and outright liars (proven so, by video, audio, and written evidence--and even in a court of law).

Not once, but multiple times, Harvard has blamed the victim (me) for being attacked by others, even violently--without provocation (again proven).

I've even been falsely arrested--by Harvard University Police--on clearly made-up charges, and brutalized by its officers in the process. Thankfully, I--with the help of my neighbors--caught their misconduct on video this time (it wasn't their first time). Watch these so-called "officers" commit a long list of outright crimes--in a matter of minutes and with impunity, even with cameras (plural) running.

This campaign is not only for me and my family, but for others who are like me--whose parents worked double shifts, broke their backs, and even took (literally) the food from their plate to see us do better than they had.

But you can help in other ways--not just dollars. Please help me get the message out. Share this page. Visit and share our website. Subscribe to our Youtube page.

Your generous support will also help protect me from Harvard's "wrath."

Believe me. They, and their team of fancy lawyers, countless administrators, and even its own private police department, WILL find a way (in other words, an excuse) to shut me up as soon as they can. Or do even worse.

"Keep it in the family." Hush-hush.

All kept quiet. Pushed into the shadows. To keep up appearances at the (arguably) quote-unquote "best university in the world."

Help me prevent that from happening. Yes, for me. But also so many others that are like me, who--with the work ethic, and commitment to bettering yourself through hard work, they were raised in--have earned their way into the so-called "Harvards" of the world.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to "expose" or embarrass individual people. I'm not here to "name names"--even if those "names" have engaged in the very unfairness or dishonesty or biases that put me in a place to be in a position to so urgently need your help here today.

But, William, why would they do this? You may ask.

(1) Maybe because I "forgot my place" by being too vocal about unfairness--not just toward me, but toward others here (and who should be here).

(2) Maybe because I wore out my usefulness as a "token" for them to dangle around to show off to others that they're not a certain way.

(3) Maybe because I didn't accept being blamed for other's mistakes--which they repeatedly did--or pay for me them anymore.

(4) Maybe because I pointed out that they might be breaking some rules by playing "creative accounting" with my federal-loan eligibility.

(5) Maybe because I called out and documented, serious misconduct, by various entities--from Harvard Housing to the Dean of Students Office--in attempting to get fairness. But I didn't realize being fair to me, and us, was never in their plans.

The list goes on.

Harvard has long "gaslighted" me, as they call it, into believing that I was the problem. And it worked. For a time. They're experts at it. And that's part of why I stuck around so long, and put up with so much--as they dangled an unreachable carrot, while time and life has continued to pass me by.

Let's make it impossible for them to be able to continue to do this and silence me (and us), together.

The great American jurist and Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis, once said "sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Join me. Speak up with me. Tell people.

And please donate as generously as you can. Every dollar counts. So does any other way you are able to contribute. Get the word out.

Thank you all. I'm humbled by you hearing me out, and your generous hearts and minds.

-William
