He was the architect of Barack Obama’s 2008 epic grassroots organizing campaign, but his activism and organizing can be traced back to Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta’s campaign to unionize California farm workers in the late 1960s and 1970s, and even further back to the 1964 Freedom Summer in Mississippi.
