Policy and Publicity Committee

The Policy and Publicity Committee is a center for progressive legislative thought and advocacy as well as the public face of the Harvard Democrats. It is the home for those interested in researching, discussing, and debating the policies and issues the Dems find most pertinent. Members can be involved in a variety of ways or only focused on one aspect. Those interested in legislation will write the position papers of the Democrats and work to push progressive legislation locally and nationally. Members who want to focus on engagement will help get the word out about events and manage the Dems’ various media outlets. The committee as a whole will act as a liaison between the Democrats and the wider Harvard and political community. All members work together to advocate for the policies the Dems community cares about. The Policy and Publicity Committee is led by the Legislative Director and Communications Director.
