We have planned an exciting program for Democracy Summer 2026! For six weeks during the summer, Fellows will commit to participating in at least 4-5 hours a week of virtual seminars, discussions and workshops, and an additional 10-15 hours a week of in-person organizing with their local Democratic Congressperson or candidate.
Run Democracy Summer 2026 as a six-week program with virtual seminars, discussions and workshops plus in-person organizing with local Democratic congressional campaigns.
Occurrences
Evidence
Raskin's campaign page lists 2026 Democracy Summer details: six weeks, 15-20 hours per week, virtual education plus in-person campaign organizing.
The page says applications for Democracy Summer 2026 are open and directs applicants to a partner-campaign application page.
The Democracy Summer application portal is titled for 2026 and tells applicants to find partner campaigns or apply for a virtual-only option.
The virtual-only application says scholars commit about four hours weekly to virtual seminars, discussions, and workshops; it also describes fellows' on-the-ground organizing.
The campaign homepage says Democracy Summer trains and deploys young Democratic organizers, was founded by Raskin, and uses online seminars and field organizing.
Raskin's official House biography says he represents Maryland's 8th District in the 119th Congress after being sworn in for a fifth term in January 2025.
Assessments
The evidence shows Raskin's campaign and Democracy Summer infrastructure were actively administering a 2026 program with the promised core elements: six weeks, virtual seminars/discussions/workshops, and in-person organizing through partner Democratic congressional campaigns. However, as of July 2, 2026, the cited materials mainly show applications, plans, and program structure rather than proof that the full six-week 2026 program had been completed. Because the activity is tied to Raskin's own campaign organization and later federal service after the 2020 campaign term, this merits partial fulfillment with later_term timing.
