Sample a recent training.

We're very excited to announce that DFA-Democracy for New Mexico will be welcoming folks from Democracy for America (DFA) in Vermont to Albuquerque later this month. They'll be presenting a top-notch two-day training academy on June 21-22 at the UNM Law School in Albuquerque. It's a can't miss event for anyone involved with a progressive campaign this Fall -- whether you're a volunteer, campaign staffer, candidate or contemplating a possible future run for office.

The acclaimed DFA Campaign Academy empowers everyday citizens to manage and work for successful campaigns, and even run for office themselves. Co-organized by DFA activists in Albuquerque, each DFA training is shaped to fit the needs of local grassroots activists. DFA is dedicated to building a grassroots infrastructure of skilled progressive activists in all 50 states, and highly successful training academy's have been held in many locations around the nation with more on the way.

The DFA Campaign Academy brings together dozens of local activists and candidates for two days of intensive campaign training.

Three of us are coming from our ward. One question: will we be using actual voter registration data (& voter participation data) from ABQ? I hope so. When setting goals and strategy it helps to use real data - no?

Great that you're all coming!

I don't know the answer to your question but you can ask this and other questions by emailing training(at)democracyforamerica.com

You need to reference that your question is about the Albuquerque training on June 21-22.
