The American Conservative Union (ACU), which hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, announced this week a campaign to push back against the “leftward lurch of U.S. corporations,” saying it would demand meetings with CEOs and warning of consequences for those who stay on the woke path.
“This is a fight we never expected to have to wage against entities that usually have been allies in economic battles, but we will wage it with all of our resources and talents,” the ACU said in a statement.
Last week saw the launch of Stop Corporate Tyranny, a center-right coalition that bills itself as “a one-stop shop that will reveal the Left’s takeover of corporate America and provide resources for hard-working Americans to fight back.”

In the letter, the ACU said MLB has played into the hands of radicals. Throughout our nation’s history, there have been some who have sought to end the American experiment in democratic self-government. Whether motivated by socialist, fascist or other illiberal authoritarian impulses, these radicals despise the virtues upon which free people can live in harmony, the ACU wrote. And you have played into their hands. Your comments regarding the improvements to the Georgia election law are baseless and contrary to reality. Worse, your misguided comments and actions have harmed the good people of Atlanta, especially the African American community, the ACU continued, urging MLB to publicly correct the record on Georgia’s election reform law.

Meek Mills prison reform organization, the REFORM Alliance, has helped obtain another legislative victory and this time it’s in Virginia. In a collaborative effort with Justice Forward VA, American Conservative Union, and Faith and Freedom, the groups have helped enact HB 2038. The new law in Virginia will implement caps on probation terms by limiting adult probation sentences to a maximum of one year for misdemeanor offenses and five years for felonies. HB 2038 goes into effect on July 1, 2021.
Meek Mill actually put the whole bill in motion in December during a series of tweets with Justice Forward VA asking how they could help bring about a change.
