Wellstone Action!

One thing many schools down here, and really around the nation, are facing are major budget cuts.

As a recent transplant to Minneapolis, I was deeply unsettled when I learned about the case of Fong Lee, a 19 year old Hmong man shot and killed by a Minneapolis Police Officer, at a recent Campus Camp Wellstone training for Hmong youth.

Our overall impression of today is that there is A LOT of work to be done, and great potential. Were excited to be apart of moving Mississippi forward in a progressive direction. Today really validated the need and importance of this HBCU/Southern initiative.

We hit the road to build relationships here in Mississippi and connect with students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) about training to build skills and power.  Here's our first update from the trip!

As Congress and State Legislatures around the country debate critical issues, many of our partners and alumni are engaged in heated citizen lobbying campaigns to a progressive policy agenda forward.
