Stop Project 2025 Harms Americans
Project 2025 is a sweeping, extremist agenda that poses a direct threat to American democracy, freedoms, and civil rights. Backed by powerful conservative donors like the Koch family and orchestrated by the Heritage Foundation and over 100 aligned organizations, Project 2025 outlines a 900+ page blueprint to permanently reshape the federal government under authoritarian control.
This initiative aims to centralize power under the president, transforming the office into a dictatorial role by granting “supreme powers,” eliminating checks and balances, and replacing up to 50,000 nonpartisan civil servants with handpicked loyalists. The DOJ, FBI, and even the Federal Reserve would fall under direct presidential control, while dissent and protest would be criminalized through militarized law enforcement.
Project 2025 seeks to dismantle reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ protections, public education, environmental safeguards, and social safety nets. It promotes Christian nationalist values, bans abortion and contraception, ends Medicaid and Medicare, and destroys labor protections. Public programs would be privatized or eliminated entirely, exacerbating poverty, inequality, and injustice. Voting rights would be suppressed, civil liberties restricted, and the separation of church and state abolished.
If implemented, Project 2025 would turn the U.S. into a theocratic dictatorship controlled by a far-right elite, dismantling our democratic institutions and replacing them with permanent autocratic rule.
Summary of Harms:
Dismantles democracy and installs authoritarian rule
Criminalizes minorities and dissent
Ends reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ protections
Defunds public education and healthcare
Guts labor, disability, and environmental protections
Shifts tax burden to the poor and middle class
Erases church/state separation and civil rights
Suppresses voting and silences opposition
We must push back against these harms to our communities.
