Project 2025 is...
…a detailed 887-page US Conservative electoral movement blueprint for autocracy.
It would give a GOP president unprecedented “supreme” powers to advance an extremist anti-gender, anti-diversity, anti-democratic agenda – reversing many climate protections, too.
The Problem: The radical right has released an extremist electoral playbook for a soft coup, an 887-page document called Project 2025, backed by 100 conservative groups and Koch family money. It openly calls for the dismantling of the federal government and giving special ‘supreme’ powers to a President – a step toward autocracy, and Christian theocracy.
Project 2025 also calls for complete erasure of gender and LGBTQ+ identity from all federal rules and regulations. “This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists,” it states.
Project 2025 calls for rolling back recent LGTBQ+ gains in civil rights, including gay marriage and protection from discrimination, and gender reform of the military. It criminalizes transgender identity as predatory to children, and on the par with pornography.
The Solution: The Stop the Coup 2025 campaign has been launched to counter Project 2025’s agenda and address the urgent need to spread the word to LGBTQ+ and progressive communities about its dangerous threat to our democracy and lives. The project will address the burning question many ask when they learn of Project 2025: what can we do to fight back? Where is a progressive blueprint for action? What steps can we take? Most importantly, what works? What are effective strategies?
The fact is, there isn’t a single answer to these questions, but many ideas, field-tested strategies, and intersectional actions progressives can take on myriad fronts and cross-cutting issues. In New York City, Stop the Coup 2025 has convened seasoned LGBTQ+ activists to discuss and plan urgently needed responses to counter Project 2025. Stop The Coup 2025’s website provides information and resources to fight back and be prepared for Project 2025’s anti-gender, anti-democracy agenda.
We invite you to learn more and help sound the alarm to others in our LGBTQIA+ and progressive circles.
