DFA Training Goes Online Video

Written by: Edwin Rutsch on Mar 11, 2008 1:19 PM EDT

I attended the East Bay CA,  DFA training on March 1 and 2, 2008 and video taped the first 11 or so hours of the 18 hour training. After talking with DFA Training Director, Matt Blizek, we decided to place these sections online.

In the introduction video, I also asked participants what they felt Progressive Values are. These values are the essence of what they are working to actualize in our society. They talked about Justice, Fairness, Equality and Participatory Democracy. DFA training gives progressives the nuts and bolts tools to turn these values into reality.  Please do help get the word out about the online training videos.

BTW, Joan and I will be going to Take Back America Progressive Conference in Washington DC next week.  We'll be holding a workshop session on What are Progressive Values? Tell Your Personal Story .  Monday, March 17, 2008 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM , RM 2  If you're there, keep an eye out for us and stop by, say hello and be interviewed for our documentary.

Below is a 10 minute introduction to DFA Training I edited together and 9 of the unedited training sections.
