Project 2025 is the strategic plan by the regime to dismantle the American government removing any portals of the people's voice, paths for citizen input, voice or protection, and remand any choice to political corporate, and global economic operatives. It is a plan to 'make American power white and elitist'.
It is a systemic, ruthless plan to undermine the quality of life of millions of Americans, remove critical protections and dismantle programs for communities across the nation, and prioritize special interests and ideological extremism over people.
From attacking overtime pay, student loans, and reproductive rights, to allowing more discrimination, pollution, and price gouging, those behind Project 2025 are preparing to go to incredible lengths to create a country only for some, not for all of us.
If these plans are enacted, which Project 2025’s authors claim can happen without congressional approval, 4.3 million people could lose overtime protections, 40 million people could have their food assistance reduced, 220,000 American jobs could be lost, and much, much, more. The stakes are higher than ever for democracy and for people.
These threats aren’t hypothetical. These are their real plans.
The Heritage Foundation and the 100+ organizations that make up the Project 2025 Advisory Board have mapped out exactly how they will achieve their extreme ends. They aim to try and carry out many of the most troubling proposals through an anti-democratic president and political loyalists installed in the executive branch, without waiting for congressional action. And, while many of these plans are unlawful, winning in court is not guaranteed given that the same far-right movement that is behind Project 2025 has shaped our current court system.
Proposals from Project 2025, discussed in detail throughout this guide, that they claim could be implemented through executive branch action alone — so without new legislation — include:
- Cut overtime protections for 4.3 million workers
- Stop efforts to lower prescription drug prices
-Limit access to food assistance, which an average of more than 40 million people in 21.6 million households rely on monthly
- Eliminate the Head Start early education program, which serves over 1 million children annually
- Cut American Rescue Plan (ARP) programs that have created or saved 220,000 jobs
- Restrict access to medication abortion
- Push more of the 33 million people enrolled in Medicare towards Medicare Advantage and other worse, private options
- Expose the 368,000 children in foster care to risk of increased discrimination.
What it does it to put into place every monstrous and dangerous action that powerful conservatives have wanted to do since the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

No fair housing enforcement, no single Moms, no service for rehab/purchase of affordable housing for individuals, handing over every regulatory power to developers and courts.
