The Day After

We are drinking coffee, tabulating results, and thinking about what it means to have a community organizer in the White House.

This morning, Wellstone Action staff is gathering to celebrate an election season in which we trained thousands of candidates and organizers, had (at least) 257 candidates on the ballot in races from school board to US Congress, and which culminated in electing a transformational leader, a community organizer, to the Presidency of the United States of America.

While we eat our doughnuts and tabulate the results of our alums' elections, check out this piece written back in April by Jeff Blodgett, soon to return to Wellstone Action from his leave of absence as Obama's Minnesota State Director, on what it would mean to have a community organizer in the White House.

More updates soon.
