I am proud to announce that my campaign will be participating as a partner in the 2022 National Democracy Summer School! Developed by my good friend, Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin, this program is dedicated to training and educating the next generation of Democratic political activists, organizers, and leaders.

As a part of this initiative, I am looking for dedicated high school and college students to join me as Ted Lieu Summer Fellows!

The program has two components. Selected fellows will participate in an exciting online seminar and curriculum designed by Rep. Raskin focused on the history of social and political change in America and the progress of political democracy. They will also train as organizers and volunteer activists with my reelection campaign.

The theme of this year's academic seminar is “Political Democracy and its Enemies.” Through the seminar, fellows will learn from great activist heroes, both young and veteran political leaders, Democratic policy experts and top political and community organizers across the country. Past Democracy Summer speakers have included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Civil Rights leaders Bob Moses and Rev. William J. Barber II, Prof. Laurence Tribe, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. John Lewis and dozens of others.

In my campaign, Fellows will participate in key organizing events and learn to run effective field programs, including hands-on experience phone-banking, text-banking, knocking doors, and registering voters. They will also learn to fundraise and use social media as an organizing and educational tool. This program will help develop the skills needed to make change in our country.

Additional information and the application for the Fellowship can be found here.

The deadline to apply is March 15, 2022. If you know a student that may be interested in this life-changing program, please forward them this email -- this is an opportunity they won’t want to miss!

Not a student, but excited about Democracy Summer? Support our participation in this inspiring program and our efforts to galvanize a new generation of Democratic political organizers and leaders by donating to my campaign.

We are in the struggle of our political lives to defend democracy and voting rights. Join us!
