100 Days to Go: 100 Alarming Reasons to Reject the Trump-Vance Project 2025

by HRC Staff •

The ‘Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,’ more commonly known as “Project 2025,” is a dangerous, 922-page blueprint led by two former Trump administration officials, Paul Dans and Spencer Chretien, that proposes a radical takeover of our federal government by Trump, Vance and MAGA loyalists. The Heritage Foundation spearheads this project, which includes an advisory board consisting of conservative and extremist hate groups, including Alliance Defending Freedom, American Family Association, Family Research Council and Moms for Liberty.

Project 2025 demonstrates what four years of a Trump-Vance administration would look like. It is a wrecking ball aimed at the very foundations of civil rights, LGBTQ+ rights, health care access, voting rights, and environmental protections. With 100 days to go until election day, we’ve highlighted 100 alarming excerpts from this dangerous plan.
