As a member of Democracy for America (DFA) you already know how to make progressive change happen: Organize!
DFA has always been a bottom-up organization. We take our cues from you when deciding which issues to tackle and candidates to support. That's why today we're announcing our new organizing model, support system and free online organizing tools to empower you to organize your neighbors around our shared progressive values.
We're looking for smart and courageous people to step up to the challenges of our time. If you have the passion to fight for a progressive cause, then DFA can give you the support and resources to win.

Want to fight for your community against a local anti-immigrant initiative? What about pushing your state to grant people the liberty to marry who they want? Or how about ensuring our national security by making sure your Congressional Rep never supports wars of choice like Iraq? Sign up to be a DFA Organizer and our national staff will work with you to fight for these values locally.
Join the fight today. Sign up to be a DFA Organizer in your community.
It's easy to be frustrated as a progressive activist these days. We’re up against unchecked corporate power, a compliant media and too few progressive heroes in the Democratic Party.
But DFA members have never shied away from a fight. Nor do we wait on the sidelines and simply hope for the best. And we'll keep fighting for our values of community, security and liberty as long as it takes.
In solidarity,
-Matt
