John,
Did you see Deborah’s email about the threat that Project 2025 poses to our democracy?
From defunding public schools to deporting millions of immigrants to completely destroying government agencies from the Department of Education to the Environmental Protection Agency to the National Labor Relations Board―this meticulously detailed right-wing policy plan seeks to transform the United States to fit a narrow vision that is NOT supported by most Americans.
This is the right-wing vision for America some seek to implement if they succeed in this election.
Click here to write to the CEOs of major news networks and demand they cover Project 2025 so that voters know what is on the line in this presidential and congressional election.
TAKE ACTION
Together, we’re fighting for a future that includes environmental protections, protections for marginalized communities, and public resources for those who need them the most.
Thank you for taking action today,

-- DEBORAH’S EMAIL --
John,
This week’s Republican National Convention was light on policy. But do you know what’s not? Project 2025.
It’s a 900+ page meticulously detailed right-wing policy plan, drafted by the very people who could serve in a second Donald Trump administration. It includes:
-
Military raids to deport up to 5 million immigrants1
-
Purging 50,000 civil servants and replacing them with Trump loyalists2
-
Gutting racial equity programs and climate initiatives3
-
Taking SNAP food assistance away from families while making it tougher to access benefits4
-
Threatening health care coverage for up to 18.5 million Americans via a Medicaid lifetime cap5
-
Extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthy while deepening giveaways to corporations6
-
Shutting down the Department of Education and stripping the enforcement authority of the Office of Civil Rights
-
And, diverting billions of dollars in public school funding to private school vouchers while gutting funding for special education and schools that serve low-income children7
This right-wing agenda seeks to shut down federal agencies ranging from the IRS to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
It would destroy the Department of Education, the Federal Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Labor Relations Board, and much more.
Many critical policies and institutions that we take for granted would be on the chopping block, leading to a lack of consumer protections, environmental protections, and even public education as we know it.
With less than four months until Election Day, major news networks must cover Project 2025. The American people have a right to know what is on the line this election year and how it will affect our future.
Click here to send a message to the CEOs of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox News urging them to provide voters with in-depth coverage of Project 2025, which is an existential threat to human needs and our democracy.
TAKE ACTION
Project 2025 seeks to redefine what it means to be American, excluding anyone who doesn't fit their narrow, right-wing vision. They want to gut the federal government’s role in helping families meet their basic needs. They want to divide us by race, religion, and sexual orientation. They want to silence dissent, crush independent institutions, and concentrate power in the hands of a few who have pledged their loyalty to a president, not their country.
But even as this plan hides in plain sight, its policies are widely unpopular with the American people. That’s why major news networks must educate voters on the threat that Project 2025 poses to the future of our democracy as we know it.
This is a critical moment to stand up for the values of justice and equality that make our country great. Because this is a country of the many, not the few.

Thank you for taking action today, fighting for a democracy that is for all of us.
