The organization you built these past six years, the tools you developed over the course of two campaigns, and the expertise you hold as an organizer have the power to change our politics and our country for generations.
The only thing that will stop us is if we don’t seize this opportunity.
So this is important: Today, Organizing for Action, the next phase in our grassroots movement, is being launched.
Take a look at this short video Michelle just recorded about the new organization, and the role we hope you’ll play in it:

We may have started this as a long shot presidential primary campaign in 2007, but it’s always been about more than just winning an election. Together, we’ve made our communities stronger, we’ve fought for historic legislation, and we’ve brought more people than ever before into the political process.
Organizing for Action will continue this mission. Because you’re the heart of this movement, it’s up to you to decide how we do it. In the next few months, you’ll help determine what this organization looks like.

I’ll take my second oath of office in a few days, and I’ll never forget how I got here. Thank you for everything — and get ready for the next four years.
