Program Description The Democracy Summer project seeks to bring about political change in America by training and deploying the next generation of Democratic organizers and leaders to win elections at every level. This one‑of‑a‑kind Democratic Fellowship—founded in Maryland by Congressman Jamie Raskin but now undertaken across the country—teaches high school and college students state‑of‑the‑art tactics in voter registration and political organizing, the dynamic history of political and social change in our country, and essential lessons for political leadership.

Democracy Summer expanded nationally for the first time in 2021 in an historic partnership with the DCCC and multiple campaigns of Democratic Members. Last cycle, we had more than 1,500 college and high school students participating in nearly every state in the union. Fellows engage in a full‑blown pro‑democracy, pro‑voting rights and pro‑freedom curriculum and an exciting summer of on‑the‑ground organizing, with voter registration, door knocking, phone banks, rallies and political events.

Our virtual curriculum has featured lectures on the struggle for democracy and voting rights from academic luminaries like Harvard Professor Alex Keyssar, who speaks on his books

The Right to Vote: The History of a Contested Right

and

Why Do We Still Have the Electoral College? ; expert voting rights lawyers like Marc Elias, who speaks about how to understand and combat rampant voter suppression; elected officials like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the late John Lewis; and labor leaders like the Executive Director of the Labor Heritage Foundation, Elise Bryant.

In prior years, we also featured powerful supplementary teachings on confronting the climate crisis, ending gun violence, opposing reproductive freedom, addressing wealth inequality, advancing immigration policy, and more. Other popular speakers have included Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Rep. Maxwell Frost, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio‑Cortez, Rev. William J. Barber II, Prof. Laurence Tribe, and many more.

Selected Fellows Must

Commit to fully participating in at least 4 hours a week of virtual seminars, discussions and workshops.

Commit to fully participating in an additional 10‑15 hours a week of organizing with their campaign (primarily in‑person with some remote responsibilities). Schedules will vary by individual campaign.

Be at least 16 years of age.

All Fellows will receive a minimum of a $575 stipend from their campaign to supplement the costs of their organizing efforts.

Weekly speaker sessions will take place virtually on Mondays from 12pm‑2pm ET/9am‑11am PT. An additional two‑hour interactive Zoom workshop session will be hosted at various times throughout the week, with the workshop time assigned based on their campaign and region.
