Note: Jeremy Bird is the proper contact person. This is good training
for anyone in the deaf community. It may also encourage organizers to
be more mindful when it comes to the deaf and hard of hearing
community, providing sign language interpreters, CART, not just for
high visibility events, but also for training like this to be
empowered and to empower others.
During the 2008 election, students and young people across the
country were inspired to engage in politics as they never had before
— and their efforts were crucial every step of the way.
But the work is far from over.
That’s where you come in — Organizing for America is now accepting
applications for eight-week organizing fellowships for this summer.
Summer Organizers will work directly with communities and volunteer
leaders to make the change we fought for in 2008 a reality in 2009.
As a Summer Organizer, you’ll work alongside Organizing for America
staff, learn core organizing principles that are crucial for any
political campaign, and help mobilize the support that will allow
President Obama to enact an agenda that will put this country back on
track.
Apply now to work with Organizing for America before the May 5, 2009
deadline.
Barack Obama founded his campaign on the idea that change can only
come from the bottom up.
He said of community organizing: “It was the best education I ever
had, because I learned in those neighborhoods that when ordinary
people come together, they can achieve extraordinary things.”
This is your chance to get that same education.
If you are dedicated to the mission of reviving our economy, making
our country the leader in clean energy, and providing health care for
every American, don’t miss this opportunity. No prior experience is
necessary.
Learn more and apply today to help mobilize Americans in support of
the policies we need:
