Hello!

With just over four months until the deeply consequential 2024 elections, I’m pleased to invite you to join me as a member of Crimson Goes Blue — so we can emerge with a Blue Victory.

We’re an extremely effective national community of 2300 Harvard alumni, faculty, staff, and students — working together to champion democracy and support Democratic candidates in critical races.

We’re also an antidote to your anxiety — a place for you to take effective action in community.

We’ve already begun our mobilization efforts for the 2024 election, which will be a watershed moment for democracy.  Join us to strengthen our impact! We’re supporting voter mobilization and protection through activism and members’ donations to carefully selected races and organizations.

As a member, you can…

• Participate in high-impact virtual and in-person activities, connecting with voters and making a difference in key races.

• Attend informative events with inspiring and talented members of the Harvard community.

• Donate to the latest high-priority political races and grassroots groups, carefully selected each quarter for the Crimson Goes Blue Portfolio. By donating through the Portfolio, you’ll know that your money is going where it has the most impact.

Whether you have a lot of time or a little, you’re an introvert or an extrovert, a seasoned political operative or a novice, you can become a valuable part of this community — no cost, it’s free —  join here, or go to crimsongoesblue.org to join and learn more about our strategy, track record, and community.

I hope we can support our democracy together with Crimson Goes Blue!

“Crimson Goes Blue had exceptionally well-designed, maximum-impact volunteer opportunities that really utilized all of my skills. This has been the best experience that I have had volunteering with any political action group.”

“Crimson Goes Blue inspired and fed my political engagement by providing me with well-chosen, well-organized and impactful opportunities to get actively involved in voting rights and campaigns.”
