Wellstone Action is out there making a real difference. And the principal way they make a real difference, they get up and fight for what they believe in. You know, you can't win if you don't fight, and Wellstone Action knows how to be effective because they know how to fight.

Wellstone brings a level of intentionality around impact, and a sophisticated understanding of the political climate in which our grantees work. They help our groups understand their role in the broader progressive ecosystem and have transformed them – through core skills training, strategy, metrics, and time-tested best practices – from making small-scale change to really commanding the margins.

Every legit organizer, every legit campaign manager’s claim to fame is their Wellstone credentials: I was trained by Wellstone. So when I met folks at Wellstone it was like going behind the curtain and meeting the wizard.
