The DFA Training Academy's mission is to focus, network, and train grassroots activists in the skills and strategies to take back our country. This isn't just about the next election, or what we can do for our country every two to four years. This is about building a movement to take back our country. Democracy for America's unofficial motto has always been "You have the power." The DFA Training Academy grows out of the need to harness that grassroots power in an organized, skilled, and sustained manner.
Staffers, professionals, and volunteers researched and developed a curriculum for winning local elections and for organizing between elections. We reached out to campaign professionals who shared DFA's vision for grassroots-led democracy. By themselves, none of DFA activists or local candidates would be able to afford this level of professional expertise. With the training we can connect activists and campaigns with professionals to build a sustaining and politically savvy organization.
