Subj: Help us train the next generation of community organizers!
*Look what someone sent to me…can we rest on our laurels? You decide*…
We’re ready to create change.
Community organizers across the country are eager to work with President
Obama and Congress to achieve a community jobs program, real health care
reform, stronger financial regulation and comprehensive immigration reform.
We’re ready to work for real results and won’t stand for anything less than
bold action.
*You can join this effort by becoming a Generation Change intern.

Generation Change, or GenChange as we like to call it, recruits, trains, and
supports community organizers and emerging grassroots leaders by offering
internships with partner organizations on the issues of healthcare,
immigration reform and worker justice.* *It’s a great opportunity to spend
an exciting 10 weeks this summer while learning community organizing skills
and the fundamentals of making progressive change in your local community.

It is amazing to me how boldly and PROUDLY they use the term “Progressive” – as if this is a good thing! I hope that we are all paying attention – if you are visiting this site – you are!! We need our own movement and thank you to Nancy for getting us going in that direction! Thanks for posting Mary Lou!
