I’m a Political Organizer. Here’s How Harvard Can Get Out the Vote.

Nov 5, 2024 | thecrimson.com | Jasmine Wynn

As I write this, I am frantically switching between two brightly lit windows on my computer. One side contains the op-ed you are currently reading. On the other, I am frantically responding to the questions of more than one hundred phone-bankers on a Zoom call. Why have I found myself in this predicament, you ask? It’s because I never want to see Donald Trump as our president again.
It’s Time for Harvard To Act Local

Sep 25, 2024 | thecrimson.com | Jasmine Wynn

Older Harvard graduates often find themselves involved in national political spectacles — think how Rep. Elise M. Stefanik ’06 (R-N.Y.) dominated headlines last winter for her viral questioning of then-University President Claudine Gay. But younger alumni can impact politics too: Earlier this month, Harvard J.D.-Ph.D. student Evan C.

July 2024, arguably, was the most transfixing month of American presidential politics in over half a century. The first televised presidential assassination attempt in more than 40 years.

I Grew up Near Columbia. Harvard Cannot Repeat Shafik’s Mistake.

Apr 29, 2024 | thecrimson.com | Jasmine Wynn

This past week, I have watched unnerving scenes from my neighborhood plastered across the national news. Even more jarring was texts from friends of mine back in New York City about the police-laden scene unfolding along Columbia’s college walk. Growing up, there was a persistent tension between Columbia and Harlem — the neighborhood I was raised in, that lies at the base of the hill Columbia sits on. Fear of police brutality was common in my neighborhood.
To See a Fossil Free Harvard, Reject Research Funding

This past week, I joined students across the Harvard community in celebrating “Intersectional Earth Week.” The event, hosted by Harvard Climate Coalition, featured teach-ins, affinity gatherings that centered on sustainable consumption, and other activities. The success of Intersectional Earth Week reflects Harvard student support for environmentalist initiatives, but these aren’t the only strides Harvard has made towards a more sustainable campus in recent years.

Thirty-three thousand, one hundred thirty-seven. As of April 6, this figure is the estimated death toll in Gaza after the onset of the Israel-Hamas war, Israel's most deadly campaign against the Palestinian territories in its history - a larger loss of life than the 1948 Nakba, which resulted in an estimated 15,000 deaths.

Divestment Keeps Harvard Neutral

Mar 20, 2024 | thecrimson.com | Jasmine Wynn

Harvard is at a crossroads of institutional identity. From an ongoing congressional investigation, to publically halted financial contributions, and to the end of the shortest presidential tenure in history, Harvard has perpetually found itself at the center of the national news cycle.
