BACKGROUNE:

American Majority is a non-partisan, pro?freedom, grassroots training organization, designed to
encourage citizens to participate in their right to self government.

AM likes to say they are building the farm team. In numerous statewide training sessions they are
deveioping principted leadership in email roies, teaching the strategies and to build citizen?led, free-
market based activity that chaiienges insiders, cronyisrn, and bureaucratic overreach. Trainings inciode
everything from how to run for office, to how to circulate a petition, to the fundamentals of economics,
American history and civics, to how to hold a civii debate. These trainings are open to air, regardless of
party 

In its five years in Wisconsin, American Majority has trained more than 6,400 citizen ieaders at more than
190 events. AM trainees have gone on to run for school boards, clerks of courts, county boards, and the
legislature and to organize citizens for voter integrity, public school and campus activism.

For the past three years, youth subsidiary, Campus i?v?iaiority, has worked on high school and coilege
campuses to give voice to students who do not subscribe to the dominant cuitore, but who need support
in claiming their rights to free speech and free expression. Partnering with organizations like Young
Americans for Liberty, AM Wisconsin has offered in-person, err-campus training for more than 1,800
students at 30 colieges around the state.

Although AM is a national organization, Wisconsin is its most effective chapter. Wisconsin State Director,
Matt Batzel, is new National Executive Director, and spends much of his time teaching other states?
leadership how to build the Wisconsin modei.

In ceiebration of its success, AM is pianning to hold its 1000?? training in Wisconsin this fail. The event 
function as a nationai reunion for all state chapters and training aiums, and is intended to inspire and
motivate participants.

A grant of $250,000 is requested, which inciudes $18,000 for the reunion.

STAFF RECOMMENDAWON:

American Majority works quietly behind the scenes to give citizens the toois they need to participate in
their government, and its success is worth celebrating. A grant of $220,000 is recommended.
