Before DFA, Charles spent over a decade grassroots organizing and directing statewide campaigns in 17 states for direct democracy initiatives and referendums working with the AFL-CIO, SEIU, Americans for Medical Rights, and others in fights ranging from funding early childhood development and protecting civil liberties to defending collective bargaining rights and raising the minimum wage. He's also served on staff for Assemblymember Scott Wildman in California's 43rd as the community organizer responsible for revitalizing in-district resident associations, neighborhood watches, and PTA

About Trainings
Action Summits
Action Summits are interactive workshops that bring together hundreds of local activists, campaign staff and candidates for an intensive campaign training - followed by immediate strategic action to win on timely political priorities. A powerhouse team of experienced campaign professionals lead sessions in voter contact, fundraising, communications, online organizing and much more to empower progressive activists with the skills to win each November and beyond.
Right now, DFA is researching, planning and evaluating where our 2018 trainings will happen. If you'd like to request a training, submit your ideas here. (Please note that submitting a request for a training does not equal a guaranteed commitment from DFA.)
Night School
Night School is our online campaign skills instruction, where some of the savviest campaigners in the movement lead you through virtual trainings on field strategy, volunteer recruitment, coalition-building and powermapping, paid/earned media and messaging, finance planning, grassroots fundraising, and more. Check back here for updates on the calendar; in the meantime, you can access archived Night School trainings here.

Gentle reminder. Not everyone can handle the subject matter of human trafficking and child exploitation.
We ask that you use discernment when posting in this open forum viewable by all ages.
If you need to, post a note saying you are posting, say, three articles on child traffcking in the <#430244654219395103> channel or the <#432655389503520779> channel. Then people who are researchers can click the # link, and go right there, without causing teens or sensitives or former victims being overwhelmed and triggered by a dump of sudden graphic details.
@fergy19872002🦋 requested a cleansing prayer for the Discord because of these heavy topics.
Dear Creator, please rescue these victims and children, and strengthen the hands of our troops and officers seeking to deliver them every day and night. Please reveal the children and allow the perpetrators to face retribution, we ask in your Son and Our Savior Jesus name. Amen.
If you need permissions to archive or view files in these locations, or if you need us to create a channel for new inforamtion your research discovers, DM me or DM Cosmic to be granted permission access.
Dina ~ thanks for all the news this morning.
@2ncourage Thank you for your kind words.
