Still fired up today

Organizing for Action
Diane --

Wow. We're all still talking about the President's State of the Union last night -- here are some of my personal favorite quotes:

    "If you truly believe you could work full-time and support a family on less than $15,000 a year, go try it."
    Tweet this


    [On equal pay] "It's 2015. It's time."
    
Tweet this

    "I've seen something like gay marriage go from a wedge issue used to drive us apart to a story of freedom."
    Tweet this


    "Let's begin this new chapter -- together -- and let's start the work right now."
    Tweet this


President Obama laid out a vision for moving our country forward and called on Congress to pass policies that work for everyone and not just a few powerful special interests.

I hope you heard something last night that got you fired up and ready to help. The President has two years left in office, and it's on people like you and me to give it all we've got in the fight for change.

There are three things you can do to help out right now:

1) Sign up here to say you'll volunteer in your community:

2) Chip in to support the grassroots organizers working their tails off right now to fight for change in the time we have left. It's important:

3) At the very least, stand up and show the world what you stand for -- go share your favorite from the quotes above, or find your own moment to share from last night.

The President laid out his plan for the year ahead. But you and I know that change only happens when people like us fight for it. So let's go!

Thanks,

Sara
