The Red, White, and Green

Organizing for America (OFA), the grassroots volunteer organization that is working to support President Obama’s agenda, has been hard at work during this week’s Health Care Week of Action, phone banking and canvassing door-to-door to show Congress that there is broad support for health care reform.

30Barack, my local group of volunteers from California Congressional District 30 in Los Angeles, has been partnering with OFA on health care reform; but even before then, the group has been working to fulfill the president’s vision of community service — especially environmental service. (Check out my weeding and tree planting skills in the video, below.)

Want to get involved in green events in your community? Check out the president’s United We Serve website, where you can search by topic for local volunteer opportunities.
