Democracy for Monroe County (DFMC) is an independent political action committee dedicated to building and training the progressive grassroots in Monroe County. 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:

• recruiting, training, and supporting fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates at the local and state levels from among ordinary citizens who have been empowered through education and political action to participate more in our government at all levels;
• 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.
