National Democracy Summer School Applications Open

Deadline April 18th

Dear Friends:

I am proud to announce that my campaign will be participating as a partner in the 2025 National Democracy Summer School! This one-of-a-kind Democratic Fellowship—founded by Congressman Jamie Raskin and expanded across the country in an historic partnership with the DCCC—is dedicated to recruiting thousands of high school and college-age students and training them as the next generation of Democratic political activists and leaders.

As part of this educational and political initiative, I am looking for 1 dedicated high school or college student to join me here in CA-36 as a Ted Lieu for Congress Democracy Summer Fellows!

This six-week program will take place from Monday, June 23rd to Friday, August 8th and requires a commitment of 20 hours per week. Fellows will participate in exciting online seminars and a powerful curriculum designed by Congressman Raskin, while also organizing on-the-ground with my reelection campaign here in CA-36.

Throughout the academic portion, Fellows will learn from academic luminaries, inspiring political leaders, policy experts, issue advocates and top community organizers from all across the country. Past Democracy Summer speakers have included House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Professor Laurence Tribe, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Bennie Thompson, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and the late Rep. John Lewis.

Not to mention, Fellows will also learn state-of-the-art skills in phone-banking, text-banking, canvassing, on-line organizing, low-dollar fundraising and voter registration—all the necessary ingredients for a thriving field operation!

If you know a student who may be interested in this life-changing and America-changing program, please forward them this email—they won’t want to miss out!

Thank you for your support and solidarity,
Congressman Ted W. Lieu
