Center of the American Experiment

Forums:American Experiment continues its tradition of addressing important and timely topics through public forums. In 2024, we hit another record of 61 events which included 2 webinars, 22 Greater Minnesota events, 7 North Dakota events and a 16-city summer tour discussing "False Promises" that have been made to our youth and how the laws and policies enacted by progressives in St. Paul have negatively influenced the economic future of young Minnesotans. We hosted forums with our own policy experts, scholars, authors, elected officials, and well-known commentators. Forum topics covered everything from energy to education to criminal justice. In April, over 400 people turned out to see Michele Tafoya and Joe Soucheray discuss culture and politics and how they have affected sports in recent years. In June 2024, Naftali Bennett was the keynote speaker at our Annual Dinner. In September, Christopher Rufo headlined our Fall Briefing. We are proud to bring fact-based education on important policy topics to Minnesota and beyond.

Our other projects include Education, Energy, Educated Teachers/Employee Freedom, Greater Minnesota Initiative, Institutional Promotion, Non-profit Community Suppoert, Spending/Golden Turkey, Young Leaders Council, Public Safety, and North Dakota.
