Focus Areas

Camp Wellstone

If you want to change the world for the better, you have to start with people who have an understanding of how to make that happen. Wellstone Action is really the premier organization that provides that.

The skills and strategies I learned through Wellstone Action gave me the confidence I needed to take that next step, to continue on this path toward public service – and to believe that I could actually win”

Rena Moran

Minnesota State Representative

If you are committed to making non-violent change, then politics has to be at the very center of your organizing. That's just how it is. And if you want to win, you'll find no better partner than the trainers, thinkers and organizers at Wellstone Action. Personally, I find winning preferable to the alternative, and our long-term partnership with Wellstone has helped us build the independent political organization and power that we believe is essential to saving this country that we love.
