Invite Your Friends to Join Crimson Goes Blue

There’s strength in numbers. Tell your friends in the Harvard community about Crimson Goes Blue.

CGB members are our best ambassadors. Invite your Harvard friends, colleagues, and family to join us: alumni, staff, students, and faculty. We’re looking for members in red states, blue states, and purple states. No experience or qualifications required — just an interest in safeguarding our democracy.

When Crimson Goes Blue grows, so does our ability to return Democrats to power. With a targeted strategy and the right amount of energy, we can flip the House and safeguard our democracy.

Below is a sample email, which you can cut and paste and send to Harvard friends. But no need to stick to the script. Adjust it in any way that will make it most effective for people you know.

(Don’t forget to add the recipient’s name to the greeting at the top of the email and your name at the bottom.)

Subject: Join me: Safeguard our Democracy with Crimson Goes Blue

Message:

Dear friend,

I'd like to invite you to join me as a member of Crimson Goes Blue, a community of Harvard alumni, faculty, and staff, mobilizing to fight authoritarianism, protect our elections, and return power to the Democrats.   

Since 2019, nearly 3,000 members of the Harvard community have joined CGB, drawn by our strategic activism, curated information, and powerful community.

Now I am asking you to join too, because the stakes are so high.

"Hope for American democracy lies with the Democratic party and the people who are willing to organize for it. We need an avalanche or activism now.”  

Jamie Raskin HR ‘83, HLS ‘86

YOUR NAME

The sun almost always shines on Crimson Goes Blue members when they register voters in Cali (in this case at Santa Clarita’s College of the Canyons).

Invite your Harvard friends to join Crimson Goes Blue, and we’ll see even more smiling faces (like these Southern Cali folks who registered students to vote).

Know people outside the Harvard community who’d like to support Democrats and preserve democracy? No Harvard affiliation is necessary to donate to the Crimson Goes Blue Portfolio, which provides financial support to the most important Democratic races and grassroots groups at the moment. We’ve created another sample email for inviting others to donate to the Portfolio. Get it here.
