Fast-paced, stimulating, and fun, the DFA Training brings together some of the best political strategists in the country to work alongside NJ activists as they sharpen their skills to take back the White House, forge a solid blue Congress, and elect good progressives right here at home.

Sharpen your skills: Field planning & targeting, volunteer recruitment, issues organizing, fundraising strategies, media, how to run canvasses & phonebanks, call time for candidates, precinct organizing, GOTV, event planning, and message development are among the skills covered.
