Sign Up for the DFA Training Academy

From my inbox this morning...

Have you thought about running for office and wondered what was involved?

Would you like to be more helpful in supporting your favorite candidate for office?

Do you wonder about how elections are run and why campaigns do what they do?

If any of the above applies to you, please think about attending the Democracy for America Training Academy to be held March 24-25 from 9AM-6PM at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. National and local experts have been recruited to conduct sessions, and progressive political activists from around Iowa and the Midwest will be in attendance.

A contribution of $70 the day of training or $60 in advance is requested, but low income individuals and students may pay $30. A limited number of scholarships are available. Lunch will be provided. Visit the Democracy for America website for more information or to register.
Here is a partial list of the speakers at the event.

I am signed up to attend the DFA Training Academy. I attended the same event last year in the Quad Cities and highly recommend this event for anyone interested in learning more about grassroots politics. Hope to see you there.
