The Trump Administration promises to target women, immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, and protesters while undermining the rule of law, just as he did during his first term. But this time around, Trump and his enablers will be more focused, strategic, and relentless in their efforts to destroy our rights and democratic norms. The policies contained in Project 2025 –created by many former Trump officials – offer some harrowing examples of what is likely on the horizon.

There is no time to waste. Our rights depend on lawmakers acting quickly and boldly to shore up our protections before Trump takes office on January 20, 2025.
