We're looking at a lot of pathways to win in the fall, but they all have  one thing in common: They each require the best field operation in  politics.
If you'd like to get in on the action where it counts the most, here's  your chance.
On Wednesday, August 15th, we're holding an evening Organizer  Academy in New York City. You'll learn the foundations of organizing  and find out how you can apply those skills in the critical months ahead  in nearby battleground states like Pennsylvania.

You'll spend the evening learning the ropes of organizing, working to meet  field goals, and finding out what the day-to-day life of an organizer is like.
The training will be hands-on and intensive. You'll be learning about the  actual work that a field organizer job will entail: organizing events, training  volunteers, and talking with new folks about why they should take that first  step and get involved.
You'll meet some incredible people, from volunteers to fellow organizers  you'll talk with each day about what the President and Democrats are  fighting for.
But here's the most important part: You'll gain the skills to help shape the  outcome of this election.
If you're ready to step up your involvement, the Organizer Academy is for you.
