You have the power, now learn the skills! The Democracy for America Training Academy is coming to East Bay, CA for two days of exciting campaign training.
How many votes will it take to win in November? How do you find the perfect message and get it out to voters in your district? How will you raise enough money to pay for it all?
The DFA Training Academy will help you answer these questions and more.
At the DFA Training Academy, top campaign consultants with decades of experience give you the skills to run a winning campaign. Topics include: field planning, voter contact, fundraising, communications, volunteer recruitment and more.
Attendees will also get to hear directly from some of the most exciting 2008 candidates in their area and get a copy of the DFA Training Manual packed with over 180 pages of campaign info.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day and a social event will be organized Saturday evening so you can mingle and network with other activists in your area.
Venue Update
Due to spacing issues we have moved the training location to the UC Berkeley Campus. The training will begin in the Boalt Law School each day.
