ACLU Supporter, Donald Trump's presidential legacy is uplifting white supremacy and worsening racial tensions.
In his first term, his administration pursued some of the most aggressive, exclusionary policies we've ever experienced, such as the Muslim ban. That administration rolled back federal civil rights protections, leaving Black and brown people without legal help against discrimination.
In a potential second term, he's vowed to censor classroom discussions of race, gender, and systemic oppression. He'll hold federal funding hostage from schools, charities, and other organizations with diversity programs, risking millions of people's access to fair housing, education, health care, and more. We must take these proposals seriously.
His plans reflect the same anti-DEI agenda laid out in Project 2025 – the policy proposals set forth by the Heritage Foundation for the next president, proposing a plan to censor education about racism in America and attack inclusion programs. Our experts have broken down exactly how these policies would impact our rights – and how we can continue to promote racial justice and equality no matter who takes office in November.
Our experts have the civil rights and civil liberties response to Project 2025 – and with their leadership and your help, we're ready to ensure that any attempts to rollback racial justice will fail. Check out this roadmap to fight for civil rights and civil liberties in our latest election memo, "Trump on DEI and Anti-Discrimination Law." >>
Thanks for being with us as we chart the road ahead,
The ACLU Team
