Democracy For America Training Modules

All these DVDs are available in the Democratic Party office.
You can watch them at the office by appointment (individuals or
small groups up to 10-12 adults), or we can make arrangements
to show them to larger groups at your location. Specific training
programs can be developed using these videos in conjunction
with additional materials from the Texas Democratic Party and
other sources.
