We have some very exciting news to share with you. We’re announcing the launch of a new partner organization, the Sentinel Action Fund.

The Sentinel Action Fund

The Sentinel Action Fund is a new independent super PAC organized to advocate the election of conservative candidates nationwide, beginning in 2022 midterm general elections.

Its mission is to motivate a conservative grassroots army to ensure conservatives win for the right reasons across the country. It will counter the efforts of the far-Left and will support Senate and House candidates in tough races.

Here’s the Sentinel Action Fund’s gameplan:

1. Ground Game: Establish 12 permanent state-based offices in key battleground states that operate year-round, regardless of election cycle. This is the conservative answer to Soros-funded political operations and public sector unions.
2. Advertising: Spend in support of races for four Senate seats and at least twelve House seats to take back conservative majorities in the 2022 midterms.
3. Candidates: Endorse general election candidates who promise to bring real conservative solutions to Washington.

Heritage Action’s mission is unchanged—we work every day to turn conservative policy into law.

And achieving those victories works best when grassroots patriots are able to work with conservative lawmakers who want to do the right thing.

That’s why we’re excited for this new partner organization. The Sentinel Action Fund will help elect conservative champions. The Sentinel Action Fund is meeting an unmet need on the right, is additive to current efforts, and will drive positive change in Washington.

ESG: The Left’s Next Target

WATCH & LISTEN >>> Yesterday’s episode of On Air with Heritage Action was all about ESG.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance and it’s the progressive Left’s new way to coerce companies into adopting woke policies. But let’s start with a little background…

ESG is a set of criteria that some investors use to analyze prospective investments. The problem with ESG is that its components are subjective and easily manipulated to advance Leftist ideology.

Here’s how:

• Environmental: Companies that do not embrace green energy as its corporate strategy will get their ‘environmental’ score reduced. That means American oil & gas companies will be punished for not pursuing Green New Deal policies. BlackRock is already starting to do this…
• Social: Does a company have enough Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training? Does a company support abortion? Does a company provide free sex reassignment surgery? These are the types of woke questions that will determine a company’s score in the ‘social’ component of ESG. Social credit scores will be the norm.
• Governance: How diverse is the company’s board? Are there enough women in leadership positions? If the answers to these questions aren’t to the liking of the Left, the ‘governance’ score for a company will fall.

If individual investors want to assess their investments using ESG, then they can. But, when major institutions start incorporating ESG, Leftist ideology will run even more rampant in the corporate world.

For example, S&P Global is a global powerhouse that issues credit ratings for governments and corporations. Credit ratings are critical because it gives investors an idea of whether or not entities can pay back their debt.

Recently, S&P decided to start publishing ESG scores for U.S. states.

If credit rating agencies start using ESG to determine the creditworthiness of all government entities and corporations, then these institutions will be strongly incentivized to implement more and more Leftist policies.

Fortunately, some lawmakers across the country are speaking out and passing laws to combat ESG discrimination. But it’s important to keep this issue at the top of mind, as it's set to be another battleground against the Left.

A Legislative Look Ahead

Congress will be back in session next week, so it will soon pick up here in Washington.

We’d like to highlight two issues that Congress was considering before it left for a two-week Easter recess. These will be top of mind as lawmakers return to Washington:

• China Bill: Back in February, House Democrats passed their own version of a China that does very little to combat China. Instead, it's filled with liberal wish-list items. The Senate also passed their own version of a China bill. The Senate’s bill is different from the House version, so a conference committee will be needed to hash out the differences. The process may start in the next few weeks, so we’ll keep you updated.

But make sure to check out the graphic below to see how the bills shape up next to The Heritage Foundation’s recommendations.

• “Covid Relief” Funding: Congress is still considering spending billions more dollars on Covid relief funding—even though there are billions allocated that remains unspent. Not only will more spending worsen inflation, it also signals to the American people that the Left isn’t close to being over with covid lockdown policies. Just this week, Biden instructed the Justice Department to appeal a recent court decision and in an effort to reinstate the airplane mask mandate

Thank you for your support, and have a great weekend!
