In February the Climate/Energy team of CSfC, in conjunction with the Citizens Climate Lobby and two other area groups concerned about climate change, met with Kate Chang from Rep. Capuano's office to brief her on the Save Our Climate Act and to request that Rep. Capuano consider becoming a co-sponsor. Last week we were gratified to learn that he and two other members of the MA Congressional delegation have signed on as co-sponsors.

Saturday, February 18 is a big day for both Obama for America and the Elizabeth Warren campaign.

The Obama campaign is identifying supporters and encouraging folks to vote in the March 6th Primary.
Cambridge and Somerville wards will be electing their delegates to the 2012 Democratic State Convention, which will take at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts on June 2nd, 2012. This is sure to be an exciting convention where we will pick our nominee for the U.S. Senate to run against Republican Senator Scott Brown. Before a candidate can be placed on the September Primary ballot they have to get the support of 15% of the State Convention Delegates and 51% to get the endorsement of the convention. But in order
to go to the convention, you need to be elected.Here is everything you need to know about the 2012 Caucuses.
Cambridge-Somerville for Political Engagement
“We got used to the politics of disappointment -- figuring out how soon we were going to be let down. ... There’s a different dynamic in the ... politics of hope. It’s much more challenging. It means you’ve got to get up and do something. There’s opportunity. If you don’t take advantage of that opportunity, you really have to bear responsibility for not doing so. That’s how I see the time we’re in. ”
One of the most unique and exciting elements of the 2008 Obama campaign was the distributed leadership model. When we were starting out, during the spring and summer of 2008, we had so many volunteers to organize, so much work to do, and no full-time staff, that we had no choice but to embrace the distributed leadership model.
