Helping to call donors for the Feb. 27th fundraiser

Hey everybody reading this blog! We could really use your help later today to do phonecalls to potential donors for the fundraiser honoring Lois Wolk on February 27th. It will be at Christopher Cabaldon's campaign office, 1401 Halyard Drive Suite 120, West Sacramento, CA from 4 PM to 8 PM (today 2/18). There are 3 solid land lines at the office, so a lot of the calls will be done by cell phone. Don't worry, reception there is good. Please call or e-mail Marcus Tang, Don Gibson, or Brandon Key if you would like to help out!

Campus Camp Wellstone is a 1.5 day training program held on college and university campuses around the country. Our program is non-partisan, and welcomes both seasoned activists and those who are completely new to progressive activism.

We focus on very concrete skills, like the nitty-gritty of campaign planning, coalition building, and message development. We also teach students how to successfully recruit and retain volunteers and develop new leadership.

Campus Camp Wellstone is both serious and exciting—serious because you’ll walk away with skills and tools for real-world campaigns, and exciting because it's participatory, vibrant, and led by young trainers. Trainers are leaders in community organizing, labor, and non-profit organizations.

Welcome

Welcome to the official Davis College Democrats (DCD) Blog, which should with any luck, become the official DCD website. This is the third in a proud line of failed or unused DCD websites, including daviscollegedemocrats.org and daviscollegedemocrats.nexo.com.
The Davis College Democrats is the official arm of the Democratic National Committee, The Young Democrats of America, The California Young Democrats, The California Democratic Party, and the California College Democrats (all at the same time) at UC Davis. We meet (just about) every Wednesday at 6 PM in Wellman 230. This might change to 8 PM in the Spring but that has yet to be seen.
To keep track of all the latest news and events, check out this blog, which will hopefully be updated often. You can also check out the calendar at the bottom of the blog for a more visually pleasing summary of everything we're doing. We also have a facebook group.
Stay tuned!
