Last night, I attended an organizational meeting for OFA Miami-Dade. I, along with about 50 other people, learned about OFA's structure and mission and the ways in which volunteers can make a difference. I left the meeting once again "fired-up" and ready to help mobilize for change locally with the confidence that our success in Miami will lead to success nationally for President Obama's policies, particularly health insurance reform. We learned about the importance of data as well as the new technologies being employed (yes, votebuilder is still being used, those of us who volunteered during the campaing know it is a love-hate relationship). Because I hope to begin a Young Democrats club at my high school and become a volunteer for OFA, I will be attending the Leadership Training at the American Legion in Coral Gables this Saturday (August 8th) from 9:30-5:30. From what I understood, the OFA staff will educate potential team leaders and community organizers on OFA structure and the means and technologies OFA will be using to earn/show support for the President's agenda. Hope to see you there!
