This extreme plan is already well underway in the states.

Even if Donald Trump loses, the extreme principles laid out in Project 2025 will live on in the states. The extremist plan is already taking hold in states across the country, and its adherents will work to keep the plan marching forward.

Let’s take a look at just how Project 2025’s anti-democracy, anti-freedom agenda is being implemented by MAGA Republicans in Arkansas, right now: 

  • This November, voters will not get the chance to vote on an abortion rights ballot initiative.
  • The far-right secretary of state rejected the abortion rights team’s ballot petition signatures, saying organizers didn’t correctly submit a paid canvasser training certification.
  • In a 4-3 decision, the state supreme court said that the secretary of state unequally applied laws around paid canvassers, but the justices refused to check that and right the wrong.
  • In the minority dissent, one justice said “the majority has succeeded in its efforts to change the law in order to deprive the voters of the opportunity to vote on this issue, which is not the proper role of this court.”
  • MAGA Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she’s “proud” that she built the conservative court majority that ushered this decision through.

Project 2025 is a blueprint to dismantle our rights and overrule the will of the people. Arkansas is just one state where pieces of that plan are already being rolled out, and health care and reproductive rights for everyone in Arkansas will suffer as a result. And we are seeing this across the country, with 22 states enacting abortion bans since Roe was overturned.

Your gift today is a commitment to elect candidates who will hold the line for our freedoms and democracy. Will you pitch in today and support our work to defeat Project 2025’s agenda?

 
 

We’re up against some powerful forces, but here’s the good news:  The margins in state votes are often slim — elections are won or lost by a few hundred votes. So every bit you chip in will make a huge difference to electing state legislators, state supreme court justices, and governors who will hold the line against Project 2025’s anti-democracy ideals.

Chip in what you can and help ensure we can go all out in these final weeks to squash any Project 2025-like plans being conjured up in states around the country.
