The American Conservative Union

The American Conservative Union (ACU) is a nonprofit organization that promotes conservative policies and ideas in the United States. Founded in 1964, it advocates for limited government, free markets, strong national defense, and traditional values. The ACU also hosts an annual event called the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which gathers conservative leaders, activists, and policymakers. Through advocacy, research, and education, the ACU aims to influence U.S. policies and support candidates who align with conservative principles. Its work helps shape the direction of the conservative movement in America.
