With only 25 days until Election Day, people seem to be forgetting about Project 2025, John. Just take a look at Google searches from the last three months:

Project 2025 isn’t trending, but it should be. It is still very much a threat, whether or not Trump is elected president. The truth is, Republicans are already working state-by-state to push forward these dangerous and unpopular ideas.

We’re fighting furiously to elect Democracy Defenders across the country who will stand up to this far-right plan to strip our rights and destroy our democracy. And since state-level races are often won by the slimmest of margins, a gift right now could go a long way for these down-ballot candidates. 

Can you make a donation of $30 to the NDRC right away? Your gift will help in all our work, including electing Democracy Defenders this November to create an anti-Project 2025 firewall in the states.

Here is just a sampling of the proposals in this extreme MAGA plan:

• Project 2025 would stop federal work protecting our elections from foreign threats. Project 2025 recommends dismantling the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, which is devoted to securing elections from interference. The agency is currently housed in the Department of Homeland Security, and its minimized work functions would be moved under the Department of Transportation. Yep, you read that right.
• Project 2025 would install political actors to decide who does and doesn’t get counted in the census instead of nonpartisan actors. The plan also calls for a citizenship question on the census, which could undercount the population in areas with high rates of immigrants and unfairly shift power away from minority communities.
• Project 2025 would weaken the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which is responsible for defending Americans of color in civil rights cases like violations of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).

This last point hits me hard. I dedicate my career to upholding the VRA. In fact, my most recent favorite memory is reading the U.S Supreme Court’s decision in Allen v. Milligan, which helped remedy discriminatory redistricting in Alabama. I felt so proud to see the highest court in our land say that people of color deserve federal legal protections of their right to vote. But Project 2025 wants to upend the federal team that protects minority voters’ rights. 

Here’s the thing, John: I absolutely believe that together we will level the playing field and ensure that power rests with every American voter — not with extremist politicians. And I believe that in this election we can decisively show MAGA Republicans that we will not sit by and watch them rip up the fabric of our democracy. 

And here’s the best part: Since state-level elections can be won by a few hundred votes, every dollar given today goes further to put the right people in the right places.

John, you can help make the promise of democracy real for every American in this election and beyond. Please, make a meaningful gift today to help stop Project 2025 →
