PSLM members have spent the past semester canvassing students door-to-door to educate them about Harvard's labor policies and win their support.
"A year ago [a living wage] was a very controversial thing," Offner says. "You couldn't find someone who questioned Marty Feldstein. The campus is now a place where these things are discussed beyond the level of Ec 10."
PSLM has also appealed to Faculty, mailing out information about the living wage campaign.
About 115 have signed on in support.
PSLM members are now seeking Faculty representatives in each department to canvas their colleagues.
The organization has also made an effort to reach out to alumni. About 150 have signed a pledge not to give money to Harvard until it adopts a living wage, PSLM members say.
In addition to outreach to students and Faculty, PSLM maintains a close relationship with University workers.
