Resources

Below you'll find a short list of resources we recommend to help you jump in feet first to DA.

Great places to begin: 

Leadership listserve emails = Much of the business of the DPCA is discussed and conducted on the Leadership listserve, and it is a vital communication network in between our regional and global meetings. Please join and encourage your country's leaders to join by sending an email request to our Deputy Secretary, Will Bakker (willbakker@gmail.com), who heads up the moderation of the listserve. 

Regional emails = check with your RVC to make sure you are on your regional email group. (RVC emails are rvc-americas@democratsabroad.orgrvc-ap@democratsabroad.org, and rvc-emea@democratsabroad.org)

VoteFromAbroad.org = our online voter registration tool. Here you can find information about overseas voting with details about each state elections, election offices and more.

Press = For press and media questions, please get in touch with us at press@democratsabroad.org. Do also explore Tips for Speaking to the Media and our regularly updated Talking Points
