The Texas Democratic Partys Promesa Fellowship Program seeks to utilize talented college students from across Texas

in the effort to Turn Texas Blue. This Fellowship Program is part of the second phase of our Promesa Project, which launched in December with this website, accompanying social media components and an earned media blitz. We generated a great deal of buzz and raised enough money to be able to launch Phase Two, which will consist of this Fellowship Program, paid media and a continued crescendo of the current social and earned media efforts. The Fellowship Program is currently aiming to place Fellows on the following eleven campuses across Texas.

University of Texas - El Paso University of Texas - Pan American University of Texas - San Antonio University of Texas University of Houston Texas A&M - International University of Texas - Brownsville University of Texas - Arlington University of North Texas - Dallas University of Houston - Downtown Texas A&M - Corpus Christi Fellows will be paid a stipend of $750 per semester. Upon acceptance into the program, Fellows will be required to spend a weekend in Austin for an intensive training session in various campaign and organizing skills. Travel, lodging and meals will be covered by TDP. The Fellowship Training will take place over a Friday night, a Saturday and a half-day Sunday and feature sessions such as: Welcome / Overview of the Promesa strategy / Targeting goals by region / Political goals by region How to conduct a voter registration drive How to use VAN (TDPs online voter file) How to use the VAN/Facebook Tool Political Communications via Social Media Organizing Campus Political Events Running a Phone Bank Using VANs Virtual Phone Bank Running a Volunteer Canvass Earned Media Use of Web Video Responsibilities to include: Campus Organizing Voter Registration Organize Events on Campus including Rallies, Guest Lectures, House Parties Build Social Media Capacity Assist with Video Production Build Volunteer Capacity Organize GOTV Phone Banks Organize Social Media GOTV Drives All Fellows will report to TDP Staff and be required to meet specific goals, submit regular reports and call-in to regular conference calls.
