September means it’s time for all of us to kick things up a notch. What happens over the next two months will set the course of history for years to come. Throughout September, DFA Night School will be a free resource for progressives committed to electing Barack Obama and changing this country. It all starts tonight at 8:30pm EDT...
Tonight at 8:30pm EDT hundreds of activists from across the country will come together online for an hour long campaign training focused on helping plan our Get Our the Vote campaign. We’ll be joined by Yale Professor Donald Green, author of ‘GOTV: How to Increase Voter Turnout’.
Professor Green has conducted hundreds of controlled scientific studies measuring the effects of knocking on doors, phone calls, mail, email and other common GOTV tactics. Using hard data and empirical studies we’ll show you what works and what doesn’t when it comes to mobilizing supporters on Election Day.
Click here to sign up and get the info for the training. You can listen live on Blog Talk Radio and submit questions for Professor Green to answer during tonight’s training. If you can’t listen to the training live, a recorded version will be available on our website immediately after the call and we’ll have the podcast available to download via Ituneslater this week.
This is only the start of a September full of free DFA Night School trainings. While you’re at it sign up for the others today. You’ll receive a reminder email the day of each training with all the necessary info:

One day we will all have to answer what we did in these final months when everything was at stake. It's up to each of us to make sure that we're doing all we can, talking to every friend, every family member, coworkers and neighbors and getting them involved in this election. Let's get to work!
I'm proud to be the Training Director at Democracy for America.
