Dear John,
You’ve probably heard a bit about Project 2025 by now. Before the election, we want every American to know about it.
It’s a nearly 1000-page plan to extend Trump’s grip into every part of your life. The plans are so extreme and deeply unpopular, Trump is now trying to distance himself, claiming he has “no idea who is behind it.” But that’s bunk!
More than 140 people who worked in the Trump administration put it together, including six of his cabinet secretaries. His MAGA PAC calls it “Trump’s Project 2025.” His campaign press secretary and his xenophobic adviser Stephen Miller star in the plan’s recruitment videos. If Trump truly has “no idea,” that’s really some serious cognitive decline!
Under Project 2025, a second Trump term would be much more dangerous than his first.
Project 2025 would remake every nonpartisan government agency into an arm of the MAGA agenda. Some of Trump’s worst ideas -- like having the military shoot protesters, or seizing voting machines to overturn the election -- were stopped because sensible leaders refused to go along. In a second term, there would be no sensible leaders left.
Check out this video we co-produced with MoveOn, then share it with your friends. We want the broadest possible exposure of Project 2025 so everyone will know what Trump and the people around him actually intend to do if they regain power.
Project 2025 is about controlling Americans’ lives and bodies. It’s not enough that 1 in 3 American women now live under abortion bans thanks to Trump’s Supreme Court appointees. Project 2025 envisions a MAGA FDA reversing approval of abortion medications that have safely been used for decades. It also calls for “abortion surveillance” to monitor women’s reproductive systems, creating a registry to prosecute women who cross state lines.
Project 2025 would turn America into a police state. It lays out how Trump could override mayors and governors to take over local law enforcement, and deploy the military within the U.S. to put down protests and round up millions of immigrants in huge deportation camps.
Project 2025 would give Big Oil companies carte blanche, expanding drilling and mining, putting more pollutants in the air while killing clean energy projects and barring the EPA from regulating carbon emissions. Climate scientists would be replaced by climate deniers.
There is much more to Project 2025 -- watch and share our video here to learn more. It takes every extreme fever dream MAGA Republicans have ever come up with and provides Trump with the means and even the personnel to accomplish it.
If Trump gets the chance to put Project 2025 into place, there’s no doubt he will. The country it would turn America into would be hard for any of us to recognize.
