Support CDA's 2026 National Convention! Build the next generation of Democratic Leaders >>

This July 17–19, 500+ student organizers from across the country will converge on Washington DC for the College Democrats of America 2026 National Convention -- three days of training on field, fundraising, and how to actually win races.


This is the biggest event CDA runs all year. And it's the clearest investment you can make in the future of the Democratic Party.


Here's the honest math: it costs us just $65 per attendee to run the Convention. But getting students here from Alaska, from Texas, from Pennsylvania, from every state where we're going to fight the MAGA agenda? That's a different challenge.


We've already put $10,000 into travel stipends and chapter support. Demand is still outpacing it. There are students who've spent hundreds of hours registering voters and organizing their campuses who simply can't afford the trip.


That's the gap your contribution closes.


Unlike right-wing groups like Turning Point USA -- bankrolled by dark money and the Epstein class -- we're funded by everyday people chipping in $10, $25, or $65 at a time. Every dollar goes directly to making this happen.


Will you invest in the next generation of Democratic Leaders today?
