To all our Crimson Goes Blue members who built a strong community that cares about our country and our future…
We’re proud of what we did together, and we thank every one of you.
More than 200 of you went on multi-day canvassing trips in swing states, knocking on more than 25,000 doors. And many more went door-to-door locally in their own states.
We exceeded our fundraising goal, raising more than $2 million for grassroots groups and dozens of candidates in close winnable underfunded races.
With our Voter Protection Team, we helped ensure the integrity of elections and made sure that every vote counted.
We held 50 phone banks in 2024, with more than 150 callers. In one week, we spoke to 1375 voters, the fourth highest total of the 70 phone banks for Harris led by independent groups.
We gave much needed support to other progressive groups, including Swing Left and VoPro Pros.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be analyzing the election results and — with input from our members — developing plans for protecting democracy through the efforts of our community.

"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.”
