What Crimson Goes Blue supporters are saying…

"Hope for American democracy lies with the Democratic party right now and the people who are willing to organize for it. We need to mobilize massive popular engagement in the coming election and I know Crimson Goes Blue will be a critical factor in that effort.”

Representative Jamie Raskin, HR ‘83, Crimson Goes Blue Member

“Crimson Goes Blue is the group that I’d been looking for! They have combined joyful community-building and effective activism, working to protect our democracy. In an ‘all hands on deck’ moment for our country, I am glad to be on the same deck as Crimson Goes Blue.”
