Democracy for Monroe County (DFMC) is a grassroots political action committee dedicated to recruiting, training, and supporting fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates at the local and state levels. DFMC is part of a nationwide coalition of grassroots groups allied with Democracy for America, the political action committee inspired by the Presidential campaign of Howard Dean.

Mission

DFMC is dedicated to:

• finding candidates among ordinary citizens who have been empowered through education and political action to participate more in our government at all levels;
• leaving no Republican candidate unchallenged;
• instilling into politics a moral influence based on true American values of equal opportunity and justice for all; and
• acting in coordination with the local Democratic Party, Organized Labor, and other progressive groups for the purpose of promoting policies that will bring us a strong community, broad prosperity, effective government, education for all, and a better future.

DFA Corps

DFA Corps is the Public Service arm of DFMC. As a community-based organization, we are dedicated to serving our community in areas outside of the partisan arena. Some of the services we have performed have included:

• collecting money to buy phonecards for wounded soldiers in VA hospitals;
• adopting a stretch of road in Bloomington in order to keep the roadside trash-free;
• fielding teams in Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowling for Kids' Sake; and
• donating used school supplies to the Teachers' Warehouse in Bloomington.
