Take Action

Safeguarding our democracy is a year round project. Whether you live in a Blue, Red or Purple state, we have many ways for you to take effective actions and make strategic investments tailored to your talents and availability.

There are many ways you can help:

Contribute your time by attending protests, participating in phone banks, and canvassing. Learn about opportunities for activism in key swing states and beyond.
Contribute your money by donating to Crimson Goes Blue’s strategic portfolio of candidates and organizations safeguarding democracy.
Contribute your influence by calling your representatives and making your voice be heard.

Ensuring the integrity of our elections also requires poll observers at every polling place in the country. Preventing election subversion means there will be an even greater need in the swing states. Many states allow you to be a poll observer, even if you do not live in the state. Check out this document to see what the roles and requirements are for poll observers in key states.
