Our Team

Crimson Goes Blue is a lean, high-impact organization powered by three staff members, talented undergraduate interns, and dedicated volunteers from the Harvard community.

This team organizes political actions such as protesting, phone banking, and canvassing in key states; develops and manages our strategic political fundraising Portfolio; analyzes ways to prevent election subversion; recruits Harvard friends to become members; and works with partner organizations on projects to safeguard our democracy. Volunteers also contribute their artistic and editorial skills to inform and inspire our community through our website, newsletter, and Substack, and their technical and financial management skills to help Crimson Goes Blue operate effectively. We have a role for everyone!

We're pleased to introduce you to many of the members of our team.
