30,000 Conservatives Trained in 45 States!

American Majority Trains 30,000 New Leaders and Activists

American Majority trained our 30,000th individual trainee last weekend at a Boot Camp Training in Atlanta, Georgia. That’s 30,000 new leaders and activists who have gone through American Majority’s cutting-edge trainings that equip them to be agents of change in their local communities. Many have gone on to run for state or local office, while many more found a way to use their unique skills to bring fiscal sanity to their hometowns and states.

Our success is in part due to the radical idea that change does not begin in Washington, but in our state and local communities, where a significant percentage of government spending occurs. We believe that if enough people will organize at the local level, it will lead to a groundswell that will bring national, generational change. This belief has rung true for the tens of thousands who have attended one of our trainings in 45 different states.

Since our founding in 2008, we’ve held 862 live, in-person trainings, led by a great staff comprised of political veterans and grassroots experts. Nearly 1,500 new leaders have signed our New Leaders Project pledge to identify new leaders in their communities to run for office.

This summer we launched a new American Majority Webinar Training Series, at which we’ve trained 515 new leaders and activists how they can better connect with voters on social media, organize in their communities, and hold their elected officials accountable.

But it’s not the numbers that matter. It is the lives that have been impacted and the leaders who have been empowered. At the local level, we are seeing school boards and village boards flipped from liberal control to conservative control. Leaders like Scot Shumski are shaking things up on the Burlington, VT school board, and Brian Logue is challenging the status quo on his county board in Wisconsin.

Training on dozens of college campuses, we’ve also worked with conservative college students to invest in their development and effectiveness through our Campus Majority program. This spring we partnered with Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) to help train 1,716 students and activists at YAL’s state conventions.

We are incredibly proud of our trainees: men and women who don’t whine and complain, but who are actually doing real things to make a difference. We are just getting started at American Majority and we plan on doing much, much more in the years to come.
