CLASP is proud to present “The First Year of Trump’s Second Term: Harms to Children, Families, and Workers,” a new report that clearly illustrates just some of the ways that President Trump and his administration have targeted and harmed our families, our communities, and our country through unprecedented attacks on economic, racial, and gender justice.
This timeline is not intended to be a comprehensive list. Rather, it highlights a number of specific actions and executive orders in the areas of immigration, child care, early education, higher education, workers’ rights, and public benefits over the last year. It also shows how those actions have emboldened hostility by individuals, states, and localities to families, immigrants, Black and brown people, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other communities. In addition, it offers important reminders of actions Trump attempted to take that, as of now, have not come to pass-–including his effort to revoke birthright citizenship.
Finally, “The First Year of Trump’s Second Term: Harms on Children, Families, and Workers” includes an overview of some responsive actions communities, policymakers, and courts have taken to withstand and counter the administration’s constant attacks on children, families, and workers, while also suggesting ways for individuals and communities to fight back against these attacks.
To define our path forward, we need to understand what we're fighting against. It is our intention that this timeline will demonstrate what the Trump Administration has done so far as we prepare for and address continued and new threats. CLASP is paying attention. Our communities are paying attention. And we won’t stop fighting for what we ALL need to thrive.
