Podcast: Community Organizing as a White House Strategy
Click here to listen to this 5/28 NPR podcast about the future of grassroots action and volunteerism in the Obama presidency!
From NPR:
“The Obama White House and the Permanent Campaign”: After winning the White House, President Obama said his volunteer army of 13 million would play a crucial role in his administration. Reincarnated at the Democratic National Committee, his campaign apparatus is now called Organizing for America. Today, the President took part in a conference call designed to mobilize his volunteer army around healthcare reform, and asked for grassroots efforts to pressure Congress to support his proposals. Will they respond with emails, phone calls, local meetings and door-to-door visits or leave it up to the man they succeeded in sending to Washington?
