The video from the Claremont Institute's annual gala is now online! We thank all of our alumni, supporters, and friends who were able to join us in honoring honoring Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the 2021 Recipient of the Claremont Institute Statesmanship Award.
At the gala, Gov. DeSantis spoke about how he keeps his home state of Florida safe from increasing federal overreach, and detailed how Americans can join in the fight to oppose tyranny.
As DeSantis noted:
"The more our society becomes unmoored from the truth, the more it will attack and defame anyone who speaks the truth. And so in times like these, there is no substitute for courage, courage to fight back against hostile political forces, courage to face down things like cancel culture, courage to stand up to a corrupt media, and courage to give a voice to so many people who remain voiceless."
Hear, hear!
