Before joining us at CPAC, Mr. Russo was the Director of Government and Legislative Affairs at the National District Attorneys Association, where he assisted in drafting and passing legislation that strengthened the protections for victims of trafficking and provided pathways to rehabilitation for those who survived abuse. He also brings experience from Capitol Hill, where he worked with the House Judiciary Committee under Representative Bob Goodlatte, and for the Senate Judiciary Committee under Senator Ted Cruz. In addition to his work leading the Center to Combat Human Trafficking, Mr. Russo will continue in his roles as Associate General Counsel and as Director of the CPAC Foundation Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Advisory Council. Mr. Plein has been with the CPAC Foundation’s Nolan Center since 2016 and is a leader in several successful justice reform campaigns across the country. In his new role, Mr. Plein will oversee day-to-day operations of the Nolan Center’s work of improving public safety and furthering needed justice reform. Additionally, Mr. Plein will continue his work at our (C4) CPAC serving as an active voice in State Capitols across the nation. The Center for Combating Human Trafficking will work alongside the Nolan Center for Justice to educate the public and advance policy efforts that improve public safety and ensure equal justice for all. Announced at the Washington D.C. premiere of “Sound of Freedom,” CPAC Foundation’s Center for Combating Human Trafficking will leverage an expansive grassroots network to drive policies which improve cross-collaboration between domestic and international law enforcement agencies, ensure tough and accountable penalties against traffickers, and support victims in reintegrating into society. The Nolan Center for Justice has become a trusted resource for the conservative perspective on justice reform issues since it was founded by Pat Nolan over a decade ago. Working to advance the core values of liberty, accountability, and fiscal responsibility – the Nolan Center is active in promoting policies that improve the safety of our communities, reduce wasteful government spending, support our law enforcement, and protect human dignity in our justice system.

Removed: Video of Former President Donald J. Trump’s Major Class Action Against Big Tech News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. Removed: Video of Former President Donald J. Trump’s Major Class Action Against Big Tech Removed: Video of Former President Donald J. Trump’s Major Class Action Against Big Tech Dallas, TX: The American Conservative Union (ACU) has learned that a recent episode of its “America UnCanceled” program on the CPAC NOW network has been removed by YouTube. The episode featured coverage of former President Donald Trump’s major class-action lawsuit against Big Tech, led by America First Policy Institute. ACU is a plaintiff to the lawsuit. “It is clear that YouTube censored CPAC because we stood with former President Donald Trump on his lawsuit against Big Tech,” said ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp. “This is yet another example of Big Tech censoring content with which they disagree in order to promote the political positions they favor.” YouTube issued a strike against ACU’s YouTube account on July 9th and banned the organization from posting for one week. As a result, YouTube has prevented ACU from sharing content from CPAC 2021 Part 2 in Dallas, Texas, including former President Donald Trump’s speech on Sunday, July 11. In an email to ACU, YouTube cited “medical misinformation” concerning COVID-19 as the reason for removing the America UnCanceled episode. YouTube did not specify any statements made in the video that allegedly violated their policies. ACU believes YouTube was offended by sound medical research conducted by the Smith Center for Infectious Diseases & Urban Health and Saint Barnabas Medical Center. Former President Donald Trump referenced the study in the video that YouTube removed, saying, “doctors and medical groups have been barred from these platforms for posting about therapeutics such as hydroxychloroquine…now, most recent studies say [the drug is] effective in combating the virus.” Clearly, Google’s political biases heavily influence YouTube’s definitions of “misinformation” and that the political beliefs of Google executives take priority over the free speech rights of Google users. ### NEWS & RELEASES .

ACU’s Letter to MLB: Move All-Star Game Back to Atlanta, Correct Lies about Conservative Election Reforms News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. ACU’s Letter to MLB: Move All-Star Game Back to Atlanta, Correct Lies about Conservative Election Reforms The Honorable Rob Manfred Commissioner, Major League Baseball The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball 1271 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY, 10020 Dear Commissioner Manfred, The American Conservative Union writes to you on behalf of the millions of Americans across the country who are members of our organization and those who align with our views regarding the values enshrined in the US Constitution. Our country is unique; it remains the only nation founded on the proposition that people can and should govern themselves. This proposition is predicated on our ability to conduct free and fair elections so the will of the people can be known and relied upon when choosing elected representatives to Congress and the respective state legislatures. 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. 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. Therefore, we urge you to publicly correct the record on Georgia’s election reform law. It is important that you do not stay silent since you contributed to the deeply flawed and misleading perceptions about the contents of the bill. Because you added to this already dishonest discussion by abruptly deciding (without reading the law as it would seem evident) to remove the 2021 MLB Draft and All-Star Game from the city of Atlanta. Moreover, the highly politicized group of radicals who aim to upend the great traditions of America must not believe they can continue to shame decent people into making false confessions, simply to avoid being defamed or harmed economically. After the recent media exposure of the actual substance of the Georgia law, we assume that you now understand how you have contributed to the false narrative about Georgia Senate Bill 202. Nevertheless, here are some of the facts, of which you clearly were not aware when you opined on the bill: The law authorizes the use of drop boxes as a legal means by which to return absentee ballots. This was never an option before 2020 when the Georgia Board of Elections made an emergency accommodation to allow drop boxes during the height of the Covid-19 lockdowns. Election workers, not political groups , can set up food and water stations at the polls. This provision is solely a prohibition against soliciting votes within 150 feet of the polling place. Nothing in the law prevents people from eating or drinking in line. Any registered voter requesting an absentee ballot will need to write his or her driver’s license or state ID number on the application to receive a ballot. This is an important transition away from subjective signature verification to objective identity verification, and the law lists many alternative sources of proof for people who don’t have a driver’s license or state ID number. The time period to request an absentee ballot has been reduced from 180 days to 78 days. Any argument that this shorter time period will discourage people from voting is not grounded in reality. This change simply ensures that fewer people who request absentee ballots will move, die, or change their minds leading up to an election. It is a safeguard against mistakes and fraud. These are reforms that have long been supported by a broad, bipartisan group of leaders for years. Yet recently, some have seen fit to make false claims about the value of these reforms, without any evidence whatsoever. The Georgia law in fact expands access to voting and gives wider availability on early voting, more so than some of the biggest MLB markets in the country. The law also includes reforms that are supported by large majorities of Americans; as the AP found over 70% of Americans support presenting some form of Government ID in order to cast a ballot in our elections. In another poll conducted by the Daily Wire, a majority support the key provisions in the Georgia law and oppose corporations and sports teams that inject themselves into politics. In light of this information, we encourage you to revisit your decision to move the All-Star Game to Colorado and ask you to return it to Georgia. Some of our supporters have asked whether Major League Baseball’s delay in making an appropriate apology might be related to the continued human rights abuses perpetrated by the ruling Chinese Communist Party. It is well known that MLB engages in business with the enemies of the very freedoms that Americans care about. This makes your criticism of the Georgia law seem more like an attempt to cleanse MLB’s own conscience while continuing to profit from its relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (even as Beijing boasts a record of abuse towards millions of innocent human beings, including Muslims in the interior of the country and the people of Hong Kong who only wish to be free). MLB’s recent public condemnation of a law it did not understand, and the resulting harm to the city of Atlanta, reveal the dangers associated with exercising your authority in an attempt to appease the Left. Your virtue signaling has robbed the people of Georgia of $100 million, especially impacting minority businesses that benefit from MLB’s presence in Atlanta. The appetite of radicals is insatiable, and their ultimate target is the destruction of our nation’s freedoms. The record must be corrected. We urge you to publicly acknowledge the mistaken assumptions and brazen mistruths propagated by your organization against Georgia’s election reform law. We also call on you to stand down and desist from threatening other governors and state legislators whose only motivation is to ensure that future elections are conducted fairly and appropriately. We ask that you meet with us to discuss this matter. To continue pushing unpopular policies that harm future elections will only threaten the very future of Major League Baseball. — The American Conservative Union NEWS & RELEASES .
