In the hours after Sen. Elizabeth Warren suspended her 2020 presidential campaign, the post-it notes in a Harvard Law School hallway began to appear.

Students at the law school, where the Cambridge democrat taught for years, wrote messages to the former professor and placed the slips of paper around her black-and-white portrait hanging in a campus building. Note writers thanked Warren for her campaign and shared how it impacted them:

“Thank you for fighting so hard!”

“You inspire me to push for policy for the people!”

“Stay persisting”

“Your values and ideas continue to inspire us to change things.”

“You’re my shero.”

Speaking to reporters outside her Cambridge home after ending her presidential bid, Warren reflected on what it was like to vote for herself on Super Tuesday and what she “got wrong” about the Democratic primary. Breaking the news to her campaign staff earlier in the day, she said she wasn’t going to let “disappointment” about how things ended “blind me — or you — to what we’ve accomplished.”

“We didn’t reach our goal, but what we have done together — what you have done — has made a lasting difference,” she said.

“I may not be in the race for president in 2020, but this fight — our fight — is not over,” she added later. “And our place in this fight has not ended.”
