Spring to Action: Still Hard at Work, Still Growing
In communities across the country, our supporters have built grassroots networks and organizations that have been the backbone of this campaign. As the primary season begins to wind down, many of these supporters are still active, and many of these grassroots communities continue to thrive.
Next month, supporters will be hosting Spring to Action fundraisers and organizational meetings as we continue to build momentum in all fifty states. Long after the last primary vote has been tallied, these supporters are still hard at work, still growing this movement.
Fundraisers will be taking place all throughout the month of April, but today is the last day to create an official Spring to Action event.
Here are just a few of the grassroots events that are being organized in states that have already voted or caucused:
- An "Obamarama" gathering at a bar in Chicago, IL
- A "Party for the Future" in San Fracisco, California
- A "Black & White" Party in New York City
- A "Scramble for Obama" golf tournament in Cathlamet, Washington
And in Salt Lake City, Utah, supporters are kicking off their post-primary organizing efforts with a Spring Back Into Action fundraiser. The Utah for Obama grassroots group is raising money and recruiting volunteers to help for participation in several upcoming local events, including the Democratic county conventions, the Utah State Democratic Convention, Utah Pride, Earth Day, the 4th of July, and Pioneer Day.
