The Heritage Foundation partnered with several hundred conservative organizations releasing a 900-page manifesto last year.
It lays out a far-right Christian nationalist vision of America that would corrode the founding principle. “separation of church and state.”
This manifesto, Project 2025, has targeted important policies such as:
• The mandate pushes an unpopular interpretations of the Christian agenda, that would earmark reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ people and people of color by effectively erasing any mention of related items and protections. Its policies are rooted in an extremist view of how society should function. It repeatedly calls for the punishment, even imprisonment of people who do not confi rm to the mandates’ platform
• In addition to the Dobbs decision, Project 2025 suggests passing a nationwide abortion ban while using federal agencies to limit abortions until that happens. Use of terms abortion, reproductive health and rights would be deleted from every rule, regulation or legislation that exists
• Project 2025 calls for the elimination of the Department of Education and every teachers union and provides actions to dismantle the public education system in favor of privatizing education while removing federal oversight of public school funding allowing states to disperse to private and religious schools.
Project 2025 suggests that the EPA be downsized, that the Department of Energy stop investing in clean and renewable energy, resume and expand drilling projects and expand coal mining. Cusp of tyranny?
