Partners

With more than 20 years of experience in political campaigns and nonprofit advocacy, Kelly Burton knows how hard the post-election period can be for campaign professionals. That’s why she teamed up with Dan McSwain, Ronnie Cho and the amazing team at mente to create the After Action 2024 workshop. 

As long-time campaign operatives who are committed to protecting and preserving our democracy, we believe the health and well-being of campaign professionals should be a top priority. If we’re not taking care of our people, our people can’t take care of our democracy. We designed After Action 2024 to provide access to proven tools that can help take care of our people, in the post-election period and beyond.

We are so thrilled about the incredible partners who are contributing and presenting throughout this 5-week workshop! Workshop participants will hear from experienced campaign experts like Emily Parcell, Jen Pihlaja, Reggie Hubbard, Michelle Kleppe, Travis Tazeleer and the amazing team at NewCo. We’ll also be guided in wellness best practices by leading practitioners like Kiara Lee Benton and Amanda Levinson, and we’ll hear from political leaders like former Congressman Steve Israel about how they apply these practices in their own work. 

Designed for campaign and advocacy professionals by campaign and advocacy professionals, we hope After Action 2024 helps you reset from the madness of the 2024 election and ready yourselves for the work ahead. 

Thanks for being here and thank you for all you do!
