2008 Student Groups: HLS for Obama
By Cari Almo
HLS for Obama is a vibrant organization with a growing membership and an ambitious agenda for the summer and fall. We support Barack because he is a progressive who understands that we can only solve America's problems by changing our politics and reducing the partisanship that paralyzes Washington. More than any candidate in our lifetime, Barack inspires people to get involved in the political process and demand change from their leaders.
More than 300 students (nearly 20 percent of the student body!) belong to HLS for Obama. This spring, we raised nearly $6,000 for a Boston area fundraiser in April; we hosted a launch event with Professors Tribe and Ogletree that packed Pound Hall; we sent volunteers to campaign events in New Hampshire and Massachusetts; and we performed a number of research tasks for the campaign.
We want to work with HLS alumni in our efforts to make Barack our next President. Alumni can help us raise money, conduct research, and talk to voters in early primary states. And we're always interested in hearing ideas from alumni on how HLS for Obama can be most effective. If you are interested in joining the HLS for Obama Alumni mailing list, please e-mail Cari Almo (calmo@law.harvard.edu).
