View Article  DFA Training Academy in Cedar Rapids


    "The DFA training taught my campaign how to analyze voter data, how to establish real-world goals and benchmarks, and how to talk to voters, volunteers, and the media. Campaigning is a skill, and it's something that every progressive activist should know. I'm certain we wouldn't have been able to win without the support and training of DFA."

          --Rep. Elesha Gayman IA-84, DFA Training Academy 2006 Graduate


DFA Training Academy in Cedar Rapids


By Arshad Hasan, Training Director

Iowa voters have the special responsibility of hosting America's first contest in the presidential primaries. You and I know that the grassroots are more than just a passive audience. We're proud to announce that the DFA Training Academy is coming to Cedar Rapids, Iowa on March 24-25 providing the skills you'll need to make a difference on the ground for your candidate.


The DFA Training Academy will make you an even greater asset to the candidate you end up supporting, whether it's a school board campaign or a race for the White House. You will learn the skills needed to take your support to the next level.

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.

RSVP Today

I hope to see you in Cedar Rapids!
