Democrats across the country will organize digitally and on-the-ground, host town halls, activate at state and county fairs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new training program will train the next generation of staff and leaders through year-round bootcamps and virtual programming. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the kick-off to August recess, today the DNC announced its \u201cOrganizing Summer\u201d programming to hold Republicans accountable in their home states and districts following their disastrous vote for Trump\u2019s budget betrayal that takes health care away from 17 million Americans, takes food away from 22 million families, and forces hospitals and medical centers in rural areas to close. Events will include paid media and digital in target congressional districts and Senate battlegrounds, hosting volunteer and State Party-led organizing events across the country, and a state and county fair blitz across the country to reach voters during the summer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of \u201cOrganizing Summer,\u201d the DNC is also launching a national training program to prepare the next generation of leaders to become campaign staff, organizers, and candidates. The DNC\u2019s National Training Team will work across organizations in the Democratic ecosystem, hosting multi-day intensive bootcamps to sharpen the skills of new and existing operatives, offer on-demand training opportunities for local community leaders, and provide management and leadership coaching programs in key states. The training team has already trained over 800 people, and next week will host a data bootcamp to equip state party data directors with cutting-edge tools and best practices to implement in their states to better target and reach voters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRepublicans are running away from Donald Trump\u2019s tax scam because they know it\u2019s one of the least popular bills to pass Congress in the past 40 years,\u201d said DNC Chair Ken Martin. <\/strong>\u201cAs Democrats, our job is to ensure that every American across the country understands the devastating impacts of this bill. That\u2019s why the DNC is mobilizing this August recess \u2014 starting with our weekend of action and continuing throughout the month. Democrats will be holding events, highlighting Republican hypocrisy, and ensuring Americans across the country know exactly who is responsible for taking away health care, food, construction jobs, and nursing homes in order to give massive handouts to billionaires.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAcross the country, our Democratic state parties have been mobilizing and ready to fight back all year,\u201d said ASDC Chair Jane Kleeb.<\/strong> \u201cWith Republicans coming home, Democrats are ready to engage voters and hold these Republicans accountable for voting for the biggest cut to health care ever. We\u2019re gearing up to hold events in key House and Senate targets, and we\u2019re ready to fight back against Republicans in places all across the country that haven\u2019t been competed in recently. It\u2019s time to mobilize, fight, and win. That\u2019s what the DNC and ASDC\u2019s August recess programming aims to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
