Roanoke Democracy for America
|
Inspired by the presidential campaign of Howard Dean, Democracy for America (DFA) is a political action committee dedicated to supporting fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at all levels of government?from school board to the presidency. DFA fights against the influence of the far right-wing and their radical, divisive policies and the selfish special interests that for too long have dominated our politics. DFA has a long-term goal to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up?it will take time, but we must start building a base now for the future.

As long as you can argue that an event constitutes a civic action instead of just a social one, your suggestion of an event will probably have a happy home here.
