The Grass Roots Movement Continues: Organizing For America

Do you know about Organizing For America (OFA)

OFA is a continuation of the Barack Obama grass roots campaign that was built in communities across the country during the presidential election.  OFA leverages the presidential campaign infrastructure including President Obama's campaign website www.BarackObama.com, and the social networking tool MyBarackObama.com that was used by over one million organizers across the country to mobilize their communities.  The grass roots organization that was minted under the leadership of David Plouffe and others during President Obama's campaign, has been re-tooled and re-purposed to mobilize support for the implementation of President Obama's platform. 

OFA is tied closely to the efforts of the Democratic Party, and it is working in tandem with the Democratic National Committee (DNC).  OFA is focused on; 1) constituent education and 2) community mobilization around key initiatives and legislation.  OFA will continue to promote canvassing and petition efforts, neighborhood meetings and townhalls to promote President Obama's agenda.
