American Moment
American Moment is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to "identify, educate, and credential young Americans who will implement public policy that supports strong families, a sovereign nation, and prosperity for all" according to its website.[1] Its goal is to staff the government with "vetted" conservative personnel.[2]
American Moment is parented by the Conservative Partnership Institute, which hosts a variety of small-staffed nonprofit groups serving conservative causes.
Their website features the "AmCanon", which provides curated content on conservative issues. Titles of this content include, "How the Chinese Trade Deal Led to the Great Awokening", "How to Destroy Both Genders in Fifty Years", and "Male Loneliness in Suburbia".[3]

American Moment President Saurabh Sharma wrote in a press release, "Rebuilding a pipeline of dedicated, conservative, and capable personnel who will fight to put America First starts at the most junior levels.

American Moment Co-Hosts 'Theology of American Statecraft' Event
Along with American Reformer, a protestant political organization, American Moment hosted an event called "The Reformation and the Nation", which aimed to form a Protestant Coalition of political leaders and activists, D.C. personnel, clergy members and theologians. In the press release about the event, American Moment included a quote reading, "Statecraft is the cultivation of civility and ultimately serves the cultivation of gospel proclamation.
