Project 2025:
Threatening
American Rights and Freedoms
Project 2025, led by the Heritage Foundation and other conservative think tanks, is a “Presidential Transition Project” that aims to overhaul the federal government. It poses significant threats to individual freedoms and civil rights and would lead to a more centralized and autocratic form of governance.
What's At Stake

The Project 2025 Agenda

Overhaul
Agency Policies
Justice Department, EPA, Health and Human Services, Department of Education, Homeland Security
Advance
Ultra-Conservative Vision
Promote “traditional” family values, restrict LGBTQ+ rights, and align federal policies with conservative Christian principles
Erode

Diminish
Role of Judiciary
Limit the judiciary’s ability to review and restrain presidential actions, weakening its role as a check on executive power.
