Another DFA Victory

Florida International University Campus Corps has done it!

We’ve won the Outstanding Political Club of the Year award on campus. This means that in our first year on campus, we beat out groups with higher name recognition like the College Democrats and College Fascists Republicans. We also beat out groups like Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights [SUPER] and others like United Students Against Sweatshops.

Our hard work through canvassing, phone banking, going to candidate events, volunteering around the community and asking questions of those in positions of power; have been recognized. More importantly, many people who had heard of us, have finally taken note of our group. We have arrived.

It is all down to your hard work, and if we continue this we can hopefully see Campus Corps and DFA endorsed Congressional Candidate Joe Garcia win locally as well as the other two South Florida congressional races. We are catalyzing change and winning the battle, day by day. Let’s keep up the great work and do it again next year!!!
