Originally Obama for America, OFA was a part of President’ Obama’s first presidential election campaign,[5] eventually becoming a distant part of the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) campaign apparatus called Organizing for America,[6] and finally becoming its own offshoot dubbed Organizing for Action.[7] Run almost entirely by Obama campaign alums, OFA has been accused of appearing to exchange access to the then-President for large donations.[8]
The group has also joined forces with the anti-Trump administration group Indivisible.[9] Indivisible has been criticized for controversial protest tactics.
