We’re fortunate to have leaders who cherish the American idea and those who seek to preserve it. Next year may look very different.
We’re entering a period in our history when new generations of citizens may never properly know the American idea—that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that government exists to protect those rights, rather than define them.
This central proposition is distorted by the identity-politics Left, which controls America’s opinion-shaping institutions: academia, media, Big Tech, Hollywood, Fortune 500, and and most of establishment Washington and the deep state.
We recognize the challenges this increasingly hostile environment pose to our work. We expect we'll be targeted and censored—it has already started—but we will not back down. We will fight.
We’ll continue to provide the most thoughtful political commentary on the Right through the Claremont Review of Books and on the American Mind. We’ll continue to teach the most promising young thinkers and statesmen through our four fellowship programs. We’ll continue to defend the Constitution through our Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence. And, in January, we’re launching a new DC-based Center for the American Way of Life, because the American way of life is exactly what’s at stake.
We believe the American idea is worth defending. Do you?
