It's pretty cut and dry: This whole election might come down to just a few key states.
I started out as a New York summer fellow -- organizing phone banks, canvasses, and volunteers in the Big Apple -- loving my work. Only when I started working in Ohio did I realize that key states like this one are the big leagues.
If you've been waiting to get in the game, too, now's the time. There are just 68 days until the last ballots are cast.
And here's how: This Sunday, September 2nd, we're holding a Field Organizing Academy in New York City -- an afternoon dedicated to giving you hands-on training in the work we're doing day in and day out in the field. Anyone who successfully completes the training will have the opportunity to apply for field organizer jobs in key states like Ohio and Virginia.
Will you be there? Apply by tomorrow, August 31st, to join us on Sunday:

At the training, you'll get tips from me and other field organizers from battleground states on everything you need to know, from training volunteers and organizing events like phone banks and canvasses, to bringing new people into this organization for the last vital weeks of this election.
Every day here in Ohio is a new challenge, every moment a chance to connect with a voter that might just decide the outcome of this election.
I'm a New Yorker -- nothing can change that. But being here in the thick of things, I know I won't have a single regret on Election Night.
This Field Organizing Academy is your chance to learn more about how you can be a part of it, too.
Are you ready to join me in these last two months? Apply to join the Field Organizing Academy in New York this Sunday:
