Democracy For America

Democracy for America (DFA) was a progressive political action committee headquartered in Burlington, Vermont. Founded by former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean in 2004, DFA led public awareness campaigns on a variety of public policy issues, trains activists, and provided funding directly to candidates for office, until it ended operations in 2022.[1][2] At its peak, the organization had dozens of local chapters and more than a million members in the United States and internationally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_for_America

Dean created the PAC Fund for a Healthy America in 2001 in Montpelier in advance of a planned campaign for president.[3][4] In March 2004, following the conclusion of Dean's presidential campaign, the organization was renamed "Democracy for America."[5] Following his unsuccessful run for the Democratic nomination in the 2004 presidential election, Dean used the organization to build on the grassroots momentum for Democratic candidates around the country and for his successful campaign to become chair of the Democratic National Committee.[6] DFA used the Internet-based, grassroots organizing that Dean had created for his presidential campaign to help like-minded Democrats get elected.
