Camp Wellstone will be held on April 27-29 in Lexington, Kentucky, and is now open for registration.
Camp Wellstone is a training program that teaches progressives how to win on issues and elect good candidates. Based on Paul Wellstone's model, Camp Wellstone integrates grassroots organizing, electoral organizing, progressive public policy and ethical leadership.
The 2.5 day training is highly interactive, combining exercises, lectures, and simulations. Camp runs Friday from 2:30pm-9:00pm, Saturday from 9:00am-6:00pm, and Sunday from 9:00am-3:30pm.
Camp Wellstone is divided into three tracks:
Candidate track - people who have made the decision to run for office, or are seriously considering it.
Campaign track - focuses on how to be an effective staff or volunteer member of a winning progressive campaign.
Citizen activist track - for people interested in learning how to win on issues and build power.
