Please send a response to Carol Cates at [e-mail] if you are interested. They need to know how many to set up for, and need at least 100 to participate. 21st Century Dems has gotten more requests than they can handle, so prompt response will ensure we get a WA training session for activists.


Seattle, WA - Today, 21st Century Democrats, one of the nation’s largest Political Action Committees, announced the formation of a strategic partnership with former Vermont Governor Howard Dean and his new grassroots organization, Democracy for America, to help train and mobilize the hundreds of thousands of Dean supporters who seek to carry on the Dean campaign’s legacy.
"Governor Dean’s campaign essentially changed this country for the better," said 21st Century Democrats Executive Director Kelly Young. "He set a progressive agenda and dialogue for the country. I could not be more pleased to join forces with him and Democracy for America. Governor Dean proved that, by focusing on a progressive agenda, you can bring active, energized Democrats to the table. By focusing on that same progressive agenda, 21st Century Democrats and Governor Dean are going to change the face of the Democratic Party and send George Bush back to Crawford, TX."

21st Century Democrats and Democracy for America will work together to recruit, train, and place activists on campaigns in targeted races around the country. During his campaign for president, Governor Dean created a grassroots network of over 640,000 people.

21st Century Democrats has built a reputation for supporting progressive candidates at every level. They have trained and placed more than 4,000 activists to date and helped to elect nearly 100 Democratic candidates. Additional details about the partnership between the PAC and Democracy for America will be announced at the 21st Century Democrats Annual Dinner on March 31st. Governor Dean will attend the dinner.

"This partnership is really a perfect fit," added Young. "Governor Dean’s goals and our mission fit together hand in glove. He has a proven record of bringing energetic, motivated Democratic activists to the table. We have a record of effectively training and placing activists on targeted races around the country and winning those races. It’s going to prove to be a very effective, winning combination."
