🚫 STOP PROJECT 2025 🚫
Trump’s First Step to a Dictatorship
Project 2025 is a radical, ultra-conservative plan to reshape America by stripping away vital rights and protections. This isn’t just theory; it’s backed by the same forces that overturned Roe v. Wade. If enacted, it would result in banning abortion, undermining public education, dismantling environmental protections, and threatening our democracy. But we have the power to stop it. Just as we fought back in Pennsylvania and won key victories, we can use our votes to protect our freedoms and ensure a future of justice, equity, and progress for all. Together, we can stop Project 2025. Kamalaharris.com/Project 2025

Background
What is Project 2025?
Project 2025 is an ambitious and highly organized plan spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, with support from over 100 conservative organizations, including America First Legal and the Center for Renewing America. The architects behind this project want to consolidate executive power under a Donald Trump presidency by enacting sweeping unconstitutional changes across federal agencies to create an authoritarian government that wields extensive control over various aspects of American life. Replacing civil servants with loyalists, rolling back regulations on environmental and labor protections, enforcing conservative social policies, and undermining established democratic norms and institutions are just some of the tactics they will deploy to consolidate their power.
What has already happened?
Project 2025 builds on a history of far-right initiatives reshaping American policies. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, produced its first Mandate for Leadership, a blueprint for advancing conservative policies, in 1980 at the start of Ronald Reagan’s presidency. Over 60% of the 2,000 recommendations had been implemented or initiated by the end of the Regan administration. Conservative operatives have steadily and strategically advanced their agenda over the past four decades. Project 2025 is the latest and most extreme edition of the Mandate for Leadership.
Trump and his administration embraced the Heritage Foundation’s recommendations and dismantled environmental regulations, withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, and passed aggressive anti-immigrant policies like family separation at the border. Trump was the tool the ultra-conservative cabal was waiting for, he was happy to pack the Supreme Court with justices that would rubberstamp their extremist agenda and carry out their long-held goal of overturning Roe v. Wade. This track record shows that the radical agenda of Project 2025 could very well become a reality.
What is at stake?
The framers of Project 2025 want to severely curtail rights and freedoms, particularly for people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, and women. Economic policies favoring the wealthy would reduce social supports, making healthcare, childcare, and education less affordable for average Americans. Voting rights would be eroded through aggressive voter suppression tactics, disenfranchising voters and making it harder for us to fight back.
Implementation of their plan means deepening social and economic inequalities and undermining democratic governance, posing a grave threat to the foundational principles of equity and justice in the United States.
What is the overall impact?
Project 2025 aims to centralize executive power, undermine democratic institutions, and roll back decades of social progress, disproportionately harming marginalized and vulnerable populations.
Overview of the Key Issues & Impacts of Project 2025
The framers of Project 2025 want to take away our fundamental rights and freedoms.
Abortion and Reproductive Rights
Ban abortion across the country: Utilizing the 1873 Comstock Act to ban abortion nationwide, making it illegal to mail abortion-related materials and medications.
Criminalize reproductive healthcare: Targeting providers and distributors of abortion medications like mifepristone.
Defund Reproductive healthcare and providers: Cutting Medicaid funding and removing abortion from healthcare plans.
Restrict Contraception: Attacking access to birth control and promoting less effective methods like the rhythm method.
Limit IVF and Reproductive Services: Implementing restrictions on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and other reproductive technologies and making it harder for families to access these services.

Voter Suppression: Implement tactics to disenfranchise marginalized communities.
Limit Voting Access: Reduce polling stations in minority areas and limit mail-in voting.
Election Integrity: Increasing voter suppression efforts by prosecuting so-called voter fraud and making voting more difficult.
