CPL was proud to train over 400 progressive activists through our 2004 Field Training Programs. You worked many hours with us to develop the skills necessary to serve as a full time field organizer or a dedicated volunteer turning out progressive voters on Election Day. You then spread out across the country to work tirelessly for organizations such as ACORN, Clear Water Action, the Sierra Club, AFSCME, and others who put your skills and dedicate to work fulfilling their Get Out the Vote strategies.
In the future we'll be launching online tools
to help you communicate with other CPL alumni and
share resources you developed with one another.
