The DNC Change Commission scheduled to hold its final meeting at 10:00 am (tentative) on Saturday December 5 at the Capitol Hilton, at 16th & K Sts.

December 5-6 is also Organizing For America National Training Weekend — OFA will hold hundreds of trainings for volunteer leaders in across the country, including several in Virginia . Each training event has a specific “volunteer leader” audience in mind:  regular volunteers, community organizers or neighborhood team leaders. Participants will learn how to make the biggest impact in their communities and learn specific skills, including how to talk with their neighbors about health insurance reform and use OFA’s innovative technology to organize effectively.  Check the OFA Site.
