What is Project 2025?
If implemented, Trump-backed Project 2025 will have a dangerous and negative impact on all aspects of our lives. From workers’ rights to our environment, Project 2025 will hurt all communities in the United States, take us backwards, and threaten our fundamental human rights and freedoms.
Who’s Behind Project 2025?
Project 2025 is a policy agenda spearheaded by the Koch-funded Heritage Foundation—a right-wing think tank that has been an influential force in conservative politics since the 1970s.

What You Need To Know
Project 2025 is the MAGA Republican policy agenda outlining their bleak vision for our future and the threats they pose to our freedoms and fundamental human rights. Just like they are cutting away at our freedom to decide if and when we want kids, they plan to decide our futures for us according to a Christian and white nationalist agenda.
Their plan to gut our government’s checks and balances and consolidate power with the president is a clear threat to our democracy.
The people are supposed to have power over our leaders, not the other way around.
Their plan to rule over us instead of representing us includes taking over our schools, eliminating protections for LGBTQ+ and Black and brown Americans, and ceding the fight against the climate crisis to rich oil corporations.
Project 2025 is a giveaway to the wealthy and rich corporations that will hurt working families across the country.
We cannot let them control our choices and take us backwards. We must come together to fight for a future where we all have freedom over our healthcare decisions and everyone, including LGBTQ+ Americans, immigrants, people of color, and people with different religious beliefs will all be treated equally.
Who Has The Most To Gain
They bragged that during his presidency, Trump implemented nearly two-thirds of their agenda, including his policies on immigration, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, and his budget and tax cuts for the wealthy. In recent years,
the Heritage Foundation has been a driving force behind the anti-DEI movement that has been dividing our communities and schools, continued to deny the climate crisis, fought against LGBTQ+ equality, and pushed election conspiracy theories.
Project 2025 was developed with the help of over 100 right-wing organizations, funders, and cronies including, anti-abortion groups, right-wing religious groups, and extremist organizations like Moms for Liberty and Turning Point USA. Its contributors also include more than 140 former Trump administration officials and former members of Trump’s cabinet.
The Impact
If implemented, Project 2025 will have a dangerous and negative impact on all aspects of our lives.
From workers’ rights to our environment, Project 2025 will hurt all communities in the United States, take us backwards, and threaten our fundamental human rights and freedoms.
Racial Justice
Project 2025 is racist, full stop. The plan would:
- End the Fair Housing Act, legalizing discrimination
- Fire public employees who have participated in DEI trainings
- Censor discussions of history and current events in schools
Abortion Rights
Do you value your reproductive freedom? A key component of Project 2025 is the continuation of attacks on reproductive freedom.
Project 2025 would:
- Crack down on abortion rights nationwide
- Increase surveillance over patients and doctors
- Create barriers that make accessing birth control more difficult
Environment
Much like Trump’s first presidency, Project 2025 would use his second term to roll back environmental protections and pave the way for corporate polluters to cause even more damage to our air and water.
Education
Driven by right-wing disinformation about DEI, LGBTQ+ kids, and the influence of “woke” politics in schools, Project 2025 calls for a hostile takeover of the public education system. This would not only make public schools less safe for marginalized students, but also further efforts to defund public education and funnel more money into private and charter schools instead.
Authoritarianism
Project 2025 outlines a plan to undermine our freedoms by politicizing both civil service and the military, using them as weapons to spread Christian and white nationalist ideology. It’s clear MAGA Republicans intend to rule over us rather than represent us.
Immigration
The Project 2025 agenda leans heavily on fear mongering about immigrants and threatens mass deportations, rescinding the existing protections for Dreamers, and decreasing the numbers of available visas for workers.
LGBTQ+ Equality
Continuing the trend of right-wing attacks against LGBTQ+ people, the Project 2025 agenda aims to revoke marriage equality and other protections for LGBTQ+ equality, as well as cutting trans people off from needed healthcare.
