The College Democrats of America (CDA) is the official student outreach arm of the Democratic Party. It aims to train and engage new generations of Democratic activists and shape the Democratic Party with voices from America's youth. In election years, College Democrats work hard to mobilize student voters and recruit volunteers for Democratic campaigns, from town council to President of the United States. In 2004, CDA recruited activists on more than 1200 campuses in all 50 states. Since 1992, CDA has actively promoted the Democratic legislative agenda and Democratic candidates for office. By training and equipping campus activists across the country to work on and manage campaigns, CDA has mobilized countless young voters and recruited tens of thousands of grassroots activists for the Democratic Party. Thanks in part to the hard work of College Democrats activists, John Kerry won a ground-breaking 54% of the youth vote in 2004. If young voters had decided the election, John Kerry would have been elected in a landslide with 375 electoral votes.
