Want to learn how to manage a professional campaign or be a candidate yourself? If so, you're invited to attend: Camp Wellstone in Madison!! January 27-29, 2012 AFSCME Wisconsin 8033 Excelsior Drive Madison, WI 53717 Hosted by Wisconsin Progress Camp Wellstone is an intensive and energizing training program that is open to anyone interested in gaining practical skills in progressive political action. Over 16,000 people have graduated from the camps since they began in 2003, and we have held camps in 39 states to date.
This 2.5 day training, running from 3-9pm Friday, 9am-6pm Saturday, and 9am-3:30pm Sunday, combines lectures from highly experienced trainers, stimulating exercises, and interactive simulations. We're counting on you to organize around issues that matter, help build campaigns for the future, and elect progressive candidates to office.
During the camp, participants divide into three tracks: Electoral Campaigns: Tools and Tactics for Success Citizen Activism: Grassroots Advocacy and Organizing Being a Candidate: How to Run and Win a Progressive Campaign
Each track has a distinctive curriculum taught by some of the nation's leading experts in grassroots politics and organizing. In each track, we draw from Paul and Sheila Wellstone's distinctive and innovative approach to politics - something we call the Wellstone Triangle. The three elements of the triangle are: progressive public policy, which lays out an agenda for action; grassroots community organizing, which builds a constituency to fight for change; and grassroots electoral politics, which provides tools for influencing and holding decision-makers accountable.
