📢 How We Resist Project 2025—Together

🗽Project 2025 is a dangerous plan to move America from a democracy to a theocratic autocracy. Get the latest news, warnings, and actions to resist authoritarianism.

Together, we can Resist and Stop Project 2025

When leaders escape accountability, it signals that power—not justice—rules, eroding trust, fueling corruption, and opening the door to authoritarianism. Billionaire-backed justices and elites aren’t serving the people—they’re scheming to suppress our voices, strip away our rights, and rule over us. But progress and power to the people is more than an idea; it’s a movement. By standing up, speaking out, and demanding dignity, opportunity, and justice for all, we can build an America that truly lives up to its promise.

🚨 Resist Project 2025 - News Briefs

🕊️ Trump plans to charge $1 billion for permanent seat on ‘Board of Peace’

• President Trump has unveiled a new international “Board of Peace” designed to supervise post-conflict reconstruction and diplomatic efforts, particularly around Gaza, but it would require countries to pay $1 billion for a permanent seat while temporary membership costs nothing. The draft charter gives Trump significant control and has drawn skepticism from global leaders who question both its practicality and its relationship to existing multilateral institutions like the United Nations. — The Washington Post

Why This Matters: This proposal reeks of corruption — turning peace into a pay-to-play scheme that sidelines democratic norms and concentrates power in the hands of the wealthy and well-connected. By undermining legitimate multilateral institutions, it robs people power, stalls real progress, and replaces collective global cooperation with a system driven by money, influence, and personal control rather than justice or accountability.

🏠 Housing, Discrimination, and Displacement

• U.S. Housing Discrimination Complaints Rise as Support Network Thins — NY Times
  Housing discrimination complaints are increasing nationwide just as fair-housing organizations face funding cuts and staff shortages. Reduced enforcement leaves renters and buyers vulnerable to illegal practices. The trend raises concerns about equal access amid record housing costs.

• Court Blocks Restrictions Threatening Proven Solutions to Homelessness — Democracy Forward
  A federal court blocked new policies that would have undermined evidence-based approaches like Housing First programs. Advocates say the ruling protects humane solutions that stabilize lives and strengthen communities. The decision reinforces the importance of evidence over punishment.

🏫 Children, Isolation, and Democracy’s Future

• The Dangerous Isolation of Home Schooling — The New York Times
  Some forms of homeschooling are contributing to social isolation and reduced oversight for children, raising concerns about education quality and safety. The trend is linked to growing mistrust of public institutions. Experts warn isolation carries long-term risks for both children and democracy.

Why this matters: Democracy depends on shared civic spaces—when children are isolated, communities weaken.

🗳️Voting Rights and Mail in Ballots

• ⚖️ Supreme Court Revives Challenge to Illinois Mail-In Ballot Rules — The New York Times

  The Supreme Court ruled that a Republican candidate has the right to challenge Illinois’ mail-in ballot rules in federal court, even without proving the rules changed an election’s outcome. Illinois allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted for days after polls close, a practice common in many states. The Court did not rule on the legality of the policy itself, but opened the door for broader litigation over election procedures.

Why It Matters: By expanding who has standing to sue over election rules, the Court may invite a wave of pre-election lawsuits that could undermine confidence in voting and destabilize election administration nationwide.

Project 2025: The Authoritarian Plan We Must Stop

Authoritarianism doesn’t happen by accident—it is planned. Project 2025 is that plan.

Backed by billionaire mega-donors and led by the Heritage Foundation and over 100 far-right groups, Project 2025 lays out a 900+ page blueprint to centralize power under the presidency and dismantle democracy from the inside.

It would purge tens of thousands of nonpartisan civil servants and replace them with loyalists, giving the president near-total control over agencies like the DOJ, FBI, and Federal Reserve. It criminalizes dissent, expands militarized policing, and targets immigrants, journalists, LGBTQIA+ people, and political opponents to divide and silence the public.

Project 2025 seeks to ban abortion and contraception, erase LGBTQIA+ protections, dismantle public education, eliminate Medicaid and Medicare, destroy labor and environmental safeguards, suppress voting rights, and impose Christian nationalism—ending the separation of church and state.

This is not a coincidence.
It’s the blueprint.

Fascism thrives when people feel powerless. That’s why people power threatens it.

When we organize, vote, and resist together, we can stop Project 2025—and defend our freedoms, our communities, and our democracy.

✊ The Tools That Project 2025 Can’t Defeat

🌱 Hope

Hope is not naïve—it is strategic. Fascism feeds on despair and fear. Hope fuels imagination, courage, and sustained resistance. It reminds us that a just future is possible—and worth fighting for.

🤝 Respect

Respect dismantles fascism’s core weapon: dehumanization. By choosing dignity and inclusion, we build communities strong enough to resist hate, scapegoating, and division.

🧩 Unity

Authoritarians rule by dividing us. Unity breaks their strategy. When we stand together across differences, we deny fascism the fractures it needs to survive.

🗽The strength of a nation is not its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them. - Gene Roddenberry
