On Tuesday September 28 after our Moving Forward Watch Party we will be Phone Banking for the Delaware Coordinated Campaign! President Obama will be speaking about the importance of youth and youth involvement in the November elections. We will join CDA and OFA groups around the country to watch the speech
So before our phone bank, here is a little more about the candidates:Chris Coons is Delaware’s Democratic candidate for Senate and current New Castle County Executive. He is a graduate of Amherst College (just down route 9!) and earned his Masters in Ethics from Yale Divinity School while simultaneously earning his J.D. from Yale Law School. A native of Delaware, Mr. Coons lives in Wilmington with his wife and three young children. He has worked for W.L. Gore & Associates, in addition to numerous non-profits including the National Coalition for the Homeless, the “I Have a Dream” Foundation, and the Investor Responsibility Research Center.
On the issues, Mr. Coons is for:
- the Repeal of DADT,
- pushing for more Americans to be able to attend college,
- women’s reproductive rights.

On the issues, Mr. Carney is for:
- energy independence,
- increasing green jobs,
- increased funding and support for cancer research,
- ensuring college is more affordable for students across the state and the nation.
In addition, both John Carney and Chris Coons are running against Tea Party Candidates.
Also, join us Tuesday from 6:30-9pm in the Dewey Common Room to watch President Obama’s speech for College students and phonebank for these two great candidates!
