A year ago, Nicole was a community organizer in San Francisco. For six years, she worked at the grassroots level to help people improve their neighborhoods and communities. She didn’t get involved in national electoral politics – something about the process just turned her off.
Two days ago, Nicole stood on a stage in Wilmington, DE and rallied a crowd of 20,000 to vote for Barack. She had them take out their cell phones and call undecided voters. She told them the same thing she has been saying on the streets of San Francisco for half a decade: you have the power to change your world.
Today Nicole is back on the streets, urging voters to get to the polls.
Michelle at Delaware State University
It has been a big week for politics in Delaware. Last Thursday Michelle came and drew the biggest crowds she has ever drawn on the campaign trail. Nearly 3,000 people came out to hear her speak at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington and at Delaware State University in Dover.

And Sunday Barack made history, when his speech in downtown Wilmington drew the largest crowd – over 20,000 people – in recent Delaware memory. People crowded in for blocks around Rodney Square to listen to his message of hope and change.
Barack was welcomed to the stage (after Nicole had made her pitch) by Delaware State Treasurer Jack Markell and Lieutenant Governor John Carney, who are currently running hard against each other for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. They showed grace and unity in raising their hands, together, for Barack.

Delaware is known as the First State because it was the first to ratify the Constitution. Today, Nicole is doing everything she can to ensure that Delaware continues to embrace real change, and says to the world, “Yes We Can!”
