Come to DFA Training, Be a Better Activist

by: Andrew Davey (atdleft)

Wed May 23, 2007 at 06:53:25 AM PDT


(There are actually 2 DFA Training Sessions, in OC July 21-22 as mentioned in this post and also in Sacramento on July 14-15. - promoted by Brian Leubitz)

In case you forgot, DFA is doing its training academy this July. And this year, we're having it here in Orange County! Yes, we have some great campaign training planned for you in Irvine. And yes, we're already planning to show all of you fantastic Democratic activists who will be coming from throughout Southern California (from Oxnard to Palm Springs to Imperial Beach) how we REALLY do it in the OC! : )

So have you signed up for this yet? Do you still need to be signed up for this? Do you still need to learn more about this? Follow me after the flip for more on this great opportunity to learn how YOU can be a part of the big Democratic victory of 2008...

Andrew Davey (atdleft) :: Come to DFA Training, Be a Better Activist
I'm sure you know about what happened last year. Now do you want to learn to make the magic happen again next year? Perhaps this is what you're looking for:

The 2008 Presidential race is already beginning to take shape. You and I both know that the grassroots are more than just a passive audience in this race. The DFA Training Academy will prepare you to become an asset to whichever candidate you end up supporting.

But this is more than just a presidential race. This past November Democrats across the country were successful in races from the U.S. Senate to local city councils. In addition to the standard campaign curriculum, we also will focus on strategies geared toward retaining the seats won last year and building Democratic majorities in 2008 and beyond.

Wow! Doesn't that sound great? Well, there's more! Only $60 (or $30 for low income people and students) can get you all of this:

At the DFA Training Academy, experienced campaign professionals will cover practical strategies and tactics including communications, fundraising, voter targeting, online organizing, and building a sustainable grassroots movement. We design the program so you can go out and use the skills you learn right away. Then, we follow up with you to make sure you have the support you need to organize your community.

Maybe you want to learn how to be more effective activist. Maybe you want to prepare yourself for the Presidential Election next year. Maybe you want to learn how to begin changing things for the better at the local level. Or maybe you just want to network with fellow activists. This will be the place for all of that and more!

Now my friends at DFA-Orange County have been working their fannies off organizing this for the past several months. They've been scouring all over the county for the perfect location, just for you. They've been working so hard on arranging for sleeping accommodations for those of you that will making quite a long drive to join us for the weekend. They are busy planning some fun social activities for after class, just for you. Basically, we've been making this an absolutely fantastic event just for you!

Don't you want to show my friends how much you appreciate their hard work by signing up for DFA training academy?

Is there a schedule (8.00 / 1)
or a curriculum posted anywhere yet? I think DFA gives great training courses, but I'd need to know what they're offering in the training before committing.

We're finalizing one here in OC... (0.00 / 0)
Now I can't speak for the folks in NorCal, but I can tell you that we're still finalizing things in Orange County. I'll talk to my friends in DFA who are organizing this about it.

However, I'm 99.9% sure that our final scedule for training will look like this:

How does that sound? : )

Had enough of the "red county" right-wing crazy-talk bulls***? Well, then come and visit us at The Liberal OC! Yes, there ARE liberals in The OC! : )

Thanks (8.00 / 1)
I'll watch for it. I definitely recommend their training courses. The Night School courses are worthwhile too.

I'm looking forward to it! (0.00 / 0)
I haven't been to one of these before. I'd like to learn from my fellow DFAers on how they win. It never hurts to find out how one can be more effective in winning campaigns! : )

Had enough of the "red county" right-wing crazy-talk bulls***? Well, then come and visit us at The Liberal OC! Yes, there ARE liberals in The OC! : )
