What my inbox looks like on Days of Action:

Action August
Joe --

One of my all-time favorite OFA traditions is the "reply-all" email chain during Days of Action, where staff from around the country send in updates -- tweets, photos, quotes, and videos -- to amplify the best events going on around the country.

This month, during Action August, I want to give you a snapshot into what that chain looks like for every big day of action -- just imagine me sitting in front of my computer, looking like this:

Sitting at my computer.

OFA-IL volunteers rallied in Springfield to demand action on immigration reform from Rep. Aaron Schock -- and the very next day, he announced his support for an earned pathway to citizenship:

Volunteers in Illinois rally for immigration reform.

In Chantilly, Virginia, volunteers got together to let Rep. Frank Wolf know they supported comprehensive immigration reform:

Volunteers in Virginia rally for immigration reform.

In Houston, volunteers demanded that Rep. Ted Poe move beyond his inflammatory statements about immigrants and recognize that reform is good for the economy:

Volunteers in Texas rally for immigration reform.

And a bonus pic -- it was all hands (and paws) on deck in Virginia:

All paws on deck.

There are literally hundreds of emails in my inbox from events just like this all across the country -- I wish I could share them all.

Don't worry -- if you weren't able to be a part of it this week, that doesn't mean you'll have to sit out the next one.
