We discuss the deep impact of Project 2025 policies on the American people, even if only 10-15% were implemented. Well beyond abortion bans and no-fault divorces, Project 2025 would adversely affect democracy. It would be easier for big money to influence election outcomes, for disinformation and misinformation to spread, and for foreign actors to meddle in elections.
Matt’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
-
Look at what’s going on around you and take action at the local level
-
Join a mutual aid group in your community
