| Update 5:05 p.m. -- Change to address of Austin event: it's 221 Park Lane, not 211. -- Katherine Just got this e-mail from Organizing for America's Texas office. If you're looking to celebrate the anniversary of the election, here's where to go: Today, Organizing For America–Texas (OFA-TX) announced it would be hosting Election Day Anniversary Reunions on Wednesday, November 4th, all across the Lone Star State. One year after 3.5 million Texans voted for change, grassroots Texans have answered President Obama’s call to stay active and get involved in the process. Understanding that Election Day was just one hurdle, OFA-TX activists are now ready to do the hard work to make President Obama’s agenda a reality. These Election Day Anniversary Reunions will provide activists with an opportunity to reflect on President Obama’s accomplishments and to strategize for the long road ahead. “One year after making history, OFA-TX activists are still making their voices heard by staying involved locally and engaging their friends and neighbors,” said Luke Hayes, Texas State Director for Organizing for America. “OFA-TX is about friends and neighbors getting involved in the conversation and making certain our elected leaders hear directly from their constituents at a time when Texas, along with the rest of the nation, stands at a crossroads.”
