Campus Camp Wellstone Concluded Today

A group of students, mostly from UK and including 15-20 KFTC members took part in a national organizing training called Campus Camp Wellstone this weekend. 

"I think it gave me great strategic tools. I also think it helped me understand grassroots organizing from a 'macro' view and see ALL the methods a group like KFTC should use, and in KFTC's case, uses. I felt more educated about the inner workings of grassroots organizing. It also made me examine what kind of leader I am and want to be. Also, from a UK campus standpoint, it was a great networking opportunity to build the relationships that help build a sustainable progressive coalition with allied organizations. As a matter of fact, during one of the exercises, I was able to work with a leader from Greenthumb and WRFL on strategies in an enviromental campaign on UK's campus."

We'll get more of a report-back from them later, but for now, here are some pictures.
