former President Barack Obama is setting up
a “shadow White House” in Washington, DC,
for organizing anti-Trump protests nationwide and
“rebuilding the ravaged Democrat Party.”
From the New York Post:
When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.
In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda.
He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by "Organizing for Action." Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA . Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.
"Contributions or gifts to Organizing for Action are not tax deductible as charitable contributions or as business expenses under IRC Section 162(e)".
OFA is committed to mobilizing and training the next generation of progressive organizers and leaders , because real, lasting change doesn’t just happen on its own—it requires a program, it requires organizing, and it requires people like you.
With grassroots chapters in neighborhoods across the country, OFA volunteers are building this movement from the ground up, person to person, community by community—because democracy isn’t a spectator sport.
Barrack & Michelle & OFA Issues
organizing as when back in Chicago:
That means turning up the heat on climate change deniers,
because the stakes are too high not to act.
It means calling for lawmakers to stop standing in the way of comprehensive immigration reform.
Telling the stories of the millions who are seeing the life-saving benefits of Obamacare.
Love is love and that no one should ever be discriminated against
because of who they are or whom they love
Woman’s health care is debated as a political issue,
not as a basic right - social rights
Fairness for all workers
Higher minimum wage
