Organizing for Action
Organizing for Action (OFA) was a nonprofit organization and community organizing project that advocated for the agenda of former U.S. President Barack Obama. The organization was officially non-partisan, but its agenda and policies were strongly allied with the Democratic Party. It was the successor of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign and of Organizing for America, which itself succeeded Obama's 2008 campaign.

Founded after Obama's re-election in November 2012, the group sought to mobilize supporters in favor of Obama's legislative priorities. OFA was registered as a 501(c)(4) organization, which may advocate for legislation but is prohibited from specifically supporting political candidates.
In December 2018, Obama announced that the group would merge with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, ending its independent status.
