(This should be a very interesting event. Also, I love the coincidence that Organizing For America (OFA) plus our state's two-letter abbreviation gives us "OFAMA." Good thing we don't live in Kentucky... - promoted by David)

The Grassroots Organizing Forum will give you a chance to network with like-minded volunteers, organizers and activists who share your passion for the issues that matter most to our country. You'll hear from Mitch Stewart, National Director of Organizing for America, and have a chance to give input into what OFA should be doing. You'll hear about exciting campaigns in the three areas at the core of President Obama's agenda - education, health care and energy - and what you can do to help win them. And you'll learn ways to leverage the political clout that comes from organizing around an issue-based campaign.
What is OFAMA?
Organizing for America-Massachusetts is made up of volunteers from all over the Commonwealth - volunteers just like you who worked tirelessly to elect Barack Obama as our new President. Now we must work to make the platform we campaigned for into a reality. We can do that by organizing around President Obama's agenda in concrete way.
