Supported by Council for a Livable World
The Council for a Livable World, founded in 1962 by long-time socialist activist and alleged Soviet agent, Leo Szilard, is a non-profit advocacy organization that seeks to "reduce the danger of nuclear weapons and increase national security", primarily through supporting progressive, congressional candidates who support their policies. The Council supported Walter Mondale in his successful Senate run as candidate for Minnesota.[1]
Wellstone Action
In 2009 Walter Mondale was listed as a member of the Advisory Board[2] of Wellstone Action, a Minnesota based organization based on the political legacy[3] of that state’s late ‘progressive” Senator Paul Wellstone.

Founded in January 2003, Wellstone Action's mission is to honor the legacy of Paul and Sheila Wellstone by continuing their work through training, educating, mobilizing and organizing a vast network of progressive individuals and organizations.
