The College Democrats of America National Convention will bring together hundreds of student organizers, campaign staff, young labor activists, elected officials, and Democratic leaders from across the country to build strategy, strengthen organizing infrastructure, and prepare for the fights ahead.

The 2026 CDA National Convention will serve as a major organizing and training space heading into one of the most important midterm cycles in recent memory. Students from every region of the country will gather to participate in leadership elections, campaign trainings, policy discussions, coalition-building sessions, labor and issue caucuses, and professional development opportunities designed to strengthen Democratic organizing both on campus and in communities nationwide.

This convention is an investment in the next generation of organizers, public servants, campaign professionals, advocates, and movement leaders. Many students attending are balancing organizing responsibilities, academic commitments, and financial barriers while working to strengthen civic engagement and democratic participation in their communities.

Funds raised through this effort will help support convention accessibility, student participation, programming, operational costs, travel assistance efforts, training resources, and expanded opportunities for College Democrats from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented communities to participate in the national convention experience.

Your support helps ensure that young organizers across the country have the resources, training, and connections necessary to continue building strong campus chapters, winning elections, advocating for their communities, and strengthening Democratic infrastructure for years to come.

Thank you for supporting the future of student organizing and Democratic leadership.
