Organizing for America (OFA) is a community organizing project of the Democratic National Committee.[1][2] Initially founded after the presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, the group sought to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative priorities, particularly health care reform. Eventually, the organization played a role in the midterm elections of 2010. Later, it became the grassroots arm of Obama for America. After Obama's second inauguration, it was reorganized as Organizing for Action and returned to its previous mission of organizing around the president's agenda. It has since become a hub of the Democratic protest movement.[3]
