The PAN Projects

In our Environment and Energy Security Policy Action Network (PAN) you can find useful links and information resources on federal and state legislation and initiatives, Democratic Party offices and committees in the House and Senate, on major US campaigning organizations as well as extensive material on issues such as climate change, renewable and alternative energy, or the peak oil debate.

In the our PAN devoted to economic issues,  you will find extensive discussion of the economic crisis and the economic stimulus plan, as well as useful links to financial reform legislation.

In the run up to Healthcare Reform, our Healthcare Group developed extensive information resources.  We have left much of material up in the Healthcare Section, but we are also providing updates on the current details, operation and debates.

Additionally, in our Forums Democrats Abroad UK (DAUK) members can discuss a wide range of issues and develop policy proposals and actions. DAUK activists can use the information resources to check on the evidence on the issues, identify key legislation and legislators and link up with others in the Forum, feeding back experience and identifying issues that need addressing more fully.

Becoming involved is a great way for DAUK members to respond to President Obama's call for good ideas to put the United States on a better path for the future.  

We are also developing PANs in other areas. Contact us if you want to get involved in shaping the direction of their work.

 The Concept

 This website supports the DAUK strategy of encouraging discussion of policy amongst its members through the development of Policy Action Networks within DAUK. This website is only one aspect of PAN actvities,  so  look at these suggestions for other directions and formats for PANs.

 The role of DAUK

Everyone is welcome to use and enjoy the information resources, but membership of the Policy Action Networks is only open to DAUK members.  DAUK members can set up a PAN subject to the approval of the DAUK Executive who oversee and approve its organization and governance.

If you are interested in linking up with others to set up a PAN, please contact the PAN Coordinator in the first instance and use the Forum to discuss your ideas with others.
