Organizing For Action, the successful group behind President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, is wading into the immigration debate.

On the heels of the president’s push for immigration reform at a naturalization ceremony on Monday, the group will begin to launch a multimedia collection of stories from undocumented Americans.

The New York Times reports the group has collected more than 7,000 stories, which they plan to distribute via social media and websites. The goal is to push the debate toward a pathway to citizenship.
