Friend --

I keep a to-do list in my desk.

It's ambitious, but you and I didn't set out to do easy things.

As long as I can count on you to be a part of this, we will find a way to make progress on all of it -- continuing to create good-paying jobs, fixing our broken immigration system, finding a common-sense way to reduce gun violence in this country, and more.

No president can do it alone.

Say you're in:

There's a lot of work to do -- thanks for doing your part.

Say you're in, Diane

Diane --

President Obama is going to bat for us on the big issues we care about -- gun safety, climate change, marriage equality, immigration reform, and more.

But he knows -- and so do we -- that he can't win those fights on his own.

Every person who steps up and says they're with us makes our movement that much bigger, stronger, and that much more powerful in Washington.

Go on -- say you're in today:

Let's get to work,

Jon

Let’s Read. Let’s Move. 2013: Help Get Kids Reading and Moving this Summer

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

Let's Read. Let's Move. (banner)

Dear Volunteer:

Early this year, you were among thousands of American who pledged to give back to their community.

Summer is here and you are probably gearing up for at least a little time spent relaxing and vacationing with family and friends. At the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), we look forward to summer too because it means the launch of our annual United We Serve: Let's Read. Let's Move. initiative and we'd like you to join us.  

Let's Read. Let's Move. focuses on some of the most important issues that face our nation's children today including summer learning loss that contributes to low academic achievement, childhood obesity and summer hunger.

We can make a difference when it comes to maintaining or improving students' academic achievement.  Children who are not engaged in learning between school years suffer from "summer learning loss."  Reading just five books during the summer can make all the difference for many children and we can help make sure these students are encouraged to read.

Childhood obesity is another issue that faces many of our youth.  Having access to welcoming play spaces or other activities that get them up and moving is both a fun way to spend the summer and a way to increase health.  The CNCS Let's Read. Let's Move. initiative is proud to support First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! call to get children moving and exercising all year.

Finally, many children who have access to free or reduced-price meals during the school year do not have that resource when the school year ends.  Getting students and parents information on summer food programs that can provide them a nutritious meal to thrive is key to ending summer hunger.

We invite you to join us in addressing these issues; please visit our website to find an opportunity near you. 

Best,

Wendy signature

Add your name for immigration reform

Organizing for Action
Diane --

Trying to get Congress to pass good, progressive legislation isn't easy -- we know that pretty well by now.

That's why this is so important: Right now, Congress is closer to passing comprehensive immigration reform than they've been in a generation.

Last Tuesday, a smart, bipartisan bill for comprehensive immigration reform moved ahead toward a full vote in the Senate -- and that vote could happen in just a matter of weeks.

If there was ever a time to get off the sidelines, it's now.

Simply add your name and say you'll join our fight for immigration reform today.

Just as we're going to rail on Congress when they cave to pressure from special interests and fail the people who sent them there, we're going to rally behind them when they start getting things done.

The organizing on the ground, the Days of Action, the tweets, Facebook posts, and calls to Congress are working -- but we absolutely can not let up now.

If we fail, it might be years before we get anywhere near this close again.

Keep going.

Add your name today:

http://my.barackobama.com/Comprehensive-Immigration-Reform

Thank you,

Jon

Russell Simmons, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cory Booker, and you

Organizing for Action
Diane --

Our immigration system is outdated, broken, and backward, and our nation's status as the center of technology and innovation is suffering because of it.

It's time for Congress to act.

Over the next two days, OFA is joining a team of organizations, tech companies, and entrepreneurs in the March for Innovation, a virtual event that we're hoping will get lawmakers' attention.

Join in: Tweet at your senators, post on Facebook, or just call your members of Congress and join the drumbeat of Americans demanding comprehensive immigration reform now.

Elected officials and celebrities -- like New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, hip-hop legend Russell Simmons, and more -- will be passing the baton to one another online. OFA Executive Director Jon Carson will be joining in, too. And they're asking thousands of Americans to jump in and be a part of it.

One tweet or one Facebook post is all it takes to add your voice. And think of what will happen when thousands of Americans do it around one issue, all at the same time?

That's hard to turn a blind eye to.

Join the conversation, seize the moment, and help get immigration reform passed:
