Democracy For America (democracyforamerica.com), is a people-powered Democratic Political Action Committee. With over one million members nationwide, DFA is a grassroots powerhouse working to change our country and the Democratic Party from the bottom-up. DFA provides training through the Campaign Academies and Night School to aspiring candidates and lifelong activists in all 50 states to give them the skills and resources we need to win.

DLCC (dlcc.org) The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee works to build infrastructure. We organize and maintain winning, state-of-the-art campaign committees across the country through a partnership with legislative leaders, professional staff, and supporters. We provide candidates with access to tools like polling, research, and online fundraising. These resources are often too expensive for state legislative races, so developing an economy of scale and making these services accessible is a huge advantage for our side. With our help, state legislative Democrats have had net gains in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, and we now control 57 of the nation’s 98 partisan chambers.

EMILY’s List (emilyslist.org), is a community of progressive Americans dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women to every level of office. We believe in the power of women as candidates, contributors, campaign professionals and voters to make change. And we get results — since our founding, we’ve helped elect 80 pro-choice Democratic women members of Congress, 15 senators, 9 governors and hundreds of women to state and local office.
