CALL TO ACTION
The Call to Action is an effort to enhance local party organizations to convey the Democratic Partys message with a persuasive, professional, and vigorous voice. We seek to inspire people to spread the Democratic message, to volunteer to register voters and get out the vote, and to stay involved. Our goal is nothing less than taking back the White House and both houses of Congress, and achieving Democratic super-majorities in both houses of the California legislature.

The Message Committee helps develop a clear, accurate, and persuasive Democratic message to convey to the public. Message volunteers research the issues and write about them.
The Media Committee delivers our message professionally and widely in local and regional media, including print, radio and television, including community-based media. The Media committee provides public relations and develops media strategy.
The Volunteer Committee works to coordinate the grassroots efforts of Democrats that are proven to succeed in winning elections. Volunteers help in any way possible. In particular, the Volunteer Committee is charged with gearing up a precinct based voter registration and GOTV movement that will endure beyond election season.
The Speakers Bureau is about bringing our message to the public live. The Speakers Bureau trains Democratic activists to speak in public, finds venues for our message (from labor halls to schools to talk radio), and gets speakers to deliver our message.
