John,
We took a deep dive into Project 2025, the MAGA blueprint for the next Trump administration, and it is SCARY.
Trump might say he knows nothing about it, but nearly 150 of his former advisors contributed to its inception, and it mirrors his vulgar and violent campaign rhetoric.
Here’s what’s included in the MAGA blueprint for the second Trump term: - Erosion of Government Institutions:
-
Purging federal government employees not loyal to Trump
- Eliminating the Department of Education, Homeland Security, NOAA, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
- Privatizing the Transportation Security Administration
-
Assault on Personal Freedoms:
- Implementing Federal restrictions on abortion access, threatening reproductive rights
- Banning books they deem inappropriate
- Elimination of Civil Rights:
- Eliminatng DEI rules and programs, and severely restricting the rights of LGBTQ+ families
- Banning Trans individuals from serving in the military
- Fully rejecting trans rights and gender identity beyond biological sex
- Environmental Devastation:
-
Weakening air quality by rolling back the EPA’s health-based air quality standards
- Stripping all future Presidents’ ability to protect public lands and waters.
- Attacks on Labor Rights:
- Ending overtime pay for the 40-hour work week
-
Eliminating child labor rules in dangerous workplaces
- Allowing states to ban labor unions
These are just some of the highlights, or should we say low-lights, of the dystopian nightmare outlined in Project 2025. The implementation of Project 2025 would be nothing short of a dismantling of our democratic institutions and a rollback of hard-won civil rights. We can’t let this happen, John.
Can you chip in $10, $15, $25, $50 or more to help us fight for Democracy? We need to win this November, and we need your help to do so.
Sincerely, Jimmy Tickey Vice Chair |
