Barack Obama’s Campaign Organizing Team Announces New Partners

Organizing for Action, the successor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign that has been rebuilding itself as a Trump-era resistance machine, is launching a new effort to train more activists by connecting progressive groups with newly trained organizers. The WaPo reports that after training 1,000 fellows since the start of the year, OFA will work with Wellstone Action, the female-focused Emerge America, Run for Something, the African American-focused Collective PAC run by Quentin and Stefanie Brown James, and the millennial-focused New Leaders Council to place fellows with the relevant causes. More here.
