You could be an OFA Summer Fellow

to me

Donna --

A year ago, I didn't know I'd be a grassroots organizer today.

But thanks to the OFA fellowship program, here I am, so much better prepared to make a difference on the issues I care about.

As a fellow this spring, I picked up skills and tools that are critical to organizing -- everything from hosting events to running phone banks, holding press conferences, and empowering others to step up and volunteer.

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to dig into progressive issues this summer. If you know someone who sounds like a good fit, encourage them to apply here by the deadline on Sunday, June 15th -- or even fill out an application yourself.

Through my work with OFA, I've been able to get involved in two of the fights that really matter to me: the Stand with Women campaign and immigration reform.

What's been especially meaningful to me is the ability to meet people where they are -- I'm bilingual, so when I go out and knock on doors and talk to folks about the work we're doing, I know how important it is to do it in the language they're most comfortable with. And because these issues directly affect my community -- mis amigos y mis vecinos -- I've picked up invaluable skills in moving folks to take action.

Pretty cool, right?

The fellows program runs through July and August, and it's competitive -- so make sure anyone you know who's interested gets their application in soon. Every person who is interested should apply, and multicultural and bilingual folks who are excited to put their skills to use in communities across the country are especially encouraged to get involved. Apply right now, or pass this along to someone who may be interested: http://my.barackobama.com/OFA-2014-Summer-Organizing-Fellowship

Thanks -- and good luck! Oneida

P.S.:  Everyone welcome!  This is your open invitation to participate in any of the above mentioned events.  Collaborate with others in your own city, community, district, region, town or state.  You will meet many people that do not see life as you do, do not believe as you do, environmentally speaking, do not reside as you do; but yet and still we all have something familiar within the common denominator.  A common thread.  Nationally speaking:  Make a difference.

The best way to spend this summer

Donna --

Organizing for Action is looking for dedicated and talented people to join the Summer Organizing Fellowship, a three-month program that will train the next generation of OFA leaders.

You're getting this email because we think you know someone who could be a great fit -- maybe it's your friend or colleague, or maybe it's you!

Apply now -- or share this link -- to get started as an OFA summer fellow. We have a lot of spots to fill, and we're counting on you to help find the best candidates.

So many grassroots leaders got their start in a program just like this.

Summer organizing fellows will learn everything they need to know about organizing for change on both the national and local levels, and will play a major role in supporting and growing volunteer-led chapters across the country.

Organizing Fellows are especially critical right now. We have a real opportunity to pass so much of the agenda we fought for and Americans voted for last fall -- on comprehensive immigration reform, gun violence prevention, strengthening the middle class and much more. This summer is our chance to make real progress.

Fellows will work long hours, and these positions are unpaid. But if you're accepted, you'll come away with an invaluable set of skills -- like recruiting volunteers, working with the media, grassroots fundraising, and using digital tools -- and a network of friends and colleagues that will be lifelong assets.

Here's where to start the application. Fill it out, or forward this email to a friend or two, and we'll be in touch:

P.S. -- Organizing Fellows are of all ages and from all different backgrounds -- that's part of what makes the program so strong. So if you know someone who'd be perfect for this, regardless of experience, encourage them to apply today.
