DNC building upon grassroots network created during presidential campaign
Organizing for America, a project of the Democratic National Committee committed to building on the grassroots network created during the Obama presidential campaign and dedicated to supporting the president's agenda, Wednesday announced that it will open its New Jersey headquarters in New Brunswick on Saturday.
The event is set for 3 p.m. at 46 Bayard St., Suite 410.
"OFA is excited to establish its New Jersey headquarters in New Brunswick. New Brunswick is a fitting home to continue the grassroots effort to ensure the voices of New Jersey residents are heard in Washington on important issues like the need for health insurance reform," said Samantha Gordon, OFA state director. "OFA's headquarters will serve as the basis for OFA's statewide operation in New Jersey and as place for local phone banks, canvasses and community events."
Since June 6, according to OFA officials, more than 2.3 million people have taken part in OFA's health reform campaign and have organized over 23,000 events in all 50 states and every congressional district in support of health insurance reform. On Oct. 20, OFA helped to generate more than 315,000 calls to Congress in a single day, over three times the initial goal.
