What Is Project 2025?

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is a road map for how a new, far-right presidential administration could take over the country. Maya Angelou said it best: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Part of a Series

The scope of Project 2025 is extensive, ranging from raising the cost of prescription drugs and restricting access to contraception, to slashing funding for early childhood and K-12 education. The plan includes proposals to end civil rights protections, exploit the most vulnerable Americans, stop safeguards that protect clean drinking water, halt action to combat the climate crisis, and open the door to an unprecedented level of corruption at the expense of American democracy. Altogether, Project 2025 is a plan for a presidency focused on consolidating and holding on to power.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
