  • Members informed about relevant issues, but be careful not to inundate them with messages.

    • WHY:  We know from our own experience that people receive a lot of political messaging. We want to avoid the dreaded Email Fatigue that leads some to unsubscribe from all DA mailings.

Caucus-Specific Emails:


  • Global level - Send your caucus mailings from your Global Caucus Broadcaster.

  • If you need concrete advice before setting out to do something with DA email or member data, or if you have any questions, email the IT Team at: helpdesk@democratsabroad.org.
