As the countdown to the 2024 elections intensifies, OFA-CA for Harris/Walz, led by seasoned Obama campaign strategists, is sparking political enthusiasm in Los Angeles. The campaign will host vibrant office opening celebrations in Wilshire and Leimert Park, aiming to energize supporters, rally volunteers, and boost donations for the Democratic slate.
These gatherings, set for September 15th and 17th at notable locations in Wilshire and Leimert Park, are designed to draw media attention, local activists, and influential political figures. Leveraging the organizational prowess that secured President Obama's victories, the team is now channeling their efforts to support Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and other Democratic candidates.
With the election looming and stakes mounting, Los Angeles's Democratic base, pivotal in Obama's historic campaigns, is mobilizing once more to influence the political landscape.
“These are make-or-break moments,” said Brandyn Keating, lead organizer for the Wilshire event and former Obama campaign director. “In 2008, we built a movement that changed the course of American politics. Now, we’re doing it again. We need every Angeleno to stand up, get involved, and take action—because the future of our democracy depends on it.”
In Leimert Park, the focus is on energizing communities of color, with Sandi Cook, a former Obama campaign leader, emphasizing the importance of these communities in securing Democratic victories: “This election is about ensuring every voice is heard and every vote is counted. We’re rallying neighborhoods that have been the backbone of Democratic victories. Together, we’ll ensure Kamala Harris and Democrats have the grassroots support they need.”
These events mark the beginning of an extensive campaign to activate supporters through various grassroots activities, including phone banking and door-to-door canvassing, ensuring comprehensive voter outreach.
