Patriot Renaissance Program: Eradicating Communist Ideology and Building Proud, Innovative Michigan Patriots

The Patriot Renaissance Program is a comprehensive, statewide initiative led by the Michigan First Movement to eliminate the influence of communist, Marxist, and anti-American ideologies in Michigan’s public institutions while inspiring the next generation of proud, innovative patriots.
