Our campaign is partnering with Rep. Raskin's Democracy Summer Fellowship Program this summer. This one-of-a-kind Democratic Fellowship—founded by Congressman Jamie Raskin and expanded across the country in a historic partnership with the DCCC—is dedicated to recruiting thousands of high school and college-age students and training them as the next generation of Democratic political activists and leaders.
As part of this educational and political initiative, I am looking for 5-10 dedicated high school and college students to join me here as CA District 14 Democracy Summer Fellows!
This six-week program will take place from Monday, June 24th to Friday, August 9th and requires a commitment of 10-15 hours per week. Fellows will participate in exciting online seminars and a powerful curriculum designed by Congressman Raskin, while also organizing on-the-ground with my reelection campaign here in CA District 14 as well as other candidates and initiatives. Fellows will receive a stipend of $500 for their hard work.
Throughout the academic portion, Fellows will learn from academic luminaries, inspiring political leaders, policy experts, issue advocates, and top community organizers from all across the country. Past Democracy Summer speakers have included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Professor Laurence Tribe, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Bennie Thompson, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the late Rep. John Lewis.
Not to mention, Fellows will also learn state-of-the-art skills in phone-banking, text-banking, canvassing, on-line organizing, low-dollar fundraising and voter registration—all the necessary ingredients for a thriving field operation!
