When DFA first started its Campaign Academy in 2004, George W. Bush was reelected President and Tom Delay was crowing about a supposed "permanent Republican majority."
Six years, 109 training events, and over 11,571 campaign-trained progressives later -- Bush and his cronies are gone and the only damage Tom DeLay has done recently was on "Dancing with the Stars."
But as this last year has shown, we still have lots of work to do. Some may throw up their hands and let this country slide back to Bush-era policies, but DFA members don't give up. We get back to work and fight for the change we believe in. This year we're organizing more training events than ever before and I'm excited to announce our first round of 2010 trainings.

CLICK HERE TO SPONSOR A LOCAL PROGRESSIVE WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO GO INSTEAD
DFA Campaign Trainings brings the best political organizers in the country to activists in communities all over America. We even target the states and districts where progressives sometimes need more support, like Tulsa, OK and Jackson, MI, because at DFA we still believe in the 50 State Strategy. If progressives fight for votes everywhere, we can win anywhere.
Our trainings show activists how to do everything from organize volunteers to raising money to building and engaging an e-mail list. After two days you'll be an asset to whatever campaign you decide to support. And if you're looking for a campaign job, we'll help you get placed on a progressive campaign that needs your help.
JOIN US AT A DFA CAMPAIGN ACADEMY IN 2010
OR SPONSOR A LOCAL PROGRESSIVE TO GET THE TRAINING THEY NEED TO LEAD
By training local progressives in the skills to win, DFA isn't just empowering the "Democratic wing of the Democratic party," we're building the victories to put progressives in control.
