The UDFL has a new website!

The University of Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor organization is working to rebuild a grassroots movement of Democratic politics on this campus. We are chartered through both the College Democrats of Minnesota and the Minnesota Young DFL. We give students access to the elected officials that represent them at the campus, in City Hall, the State Capitol, and in Washington. U-DFL works on issues that matter for students, their families, their state and country. We have a record of fighting for student rights and work to enlarge our organization through collaboration with other progressive student organizations.

The U-DFL boasts a membership of roughly 500 students and community
members, and we are always looking for new members to join with us. Our events take place throughout
the year, so even if you can not attend our meetings, you can always
join us at one of our events. As an organization, we provide
students and community members the opportunity to take place in a
whole array of events:
Educational Events: Rock the Cauc (a caucus awareness
concert), candidate debates, speakers (in past meetings we brought in a
number of local and statewide officials such as Amy Klobuchar,
Mike Hatch, Mark Ritchie, and RT Rybak). UDFL occasionally hosts local activists from environmental,
pro-choice, and other progressive groups.
Social Events: After all our hard work, we have fun
through events such as barbeques and trips to see the Twins or Gophers
preceded by tailgating. Everyone is always welcomed to these.
Campaigning: Doorknocking, literature drops, hanging signs, chalking, getting out the vote, phone banking, talking to fellow students about the issues.
Campus Politics: Endorsing and supporting liberal students for our student government.
