Add your name to call on Congress to resist MAGA's Project 2025 every step of the way.
Dear MoveOn member,
This is a dark moment in our history. But we've been here before and blocked and reversed some of Donald Trump's worst policies. Now, we must come together again and do it again.
Amid uncertainty and fear, we are sure of one thing: We will continue to show up for each other. Millions of people share our vision for a different future that we are still unequivocally committed to seeing through.
We aren't giving up, and we must demand that Democrats in Congress stand with us to do everything in their power to shut down Trump's Project 2025 agenda every step of the way.
We know what we're up against. Trump and MAGA Republicans have already shown us their playbook. And Project 2025—their "180-day transition playbook"—could destroy the checks and balances of our government and pave the way for Trump's authoritarian rise to power.
America's imperfect democracy has never been a given and has always been hard-fought. Trump and the MAGA movement did not rise out of nowhere—they were born out of white supremacist backlash against the decades of progress our communities have mobilized around and won. We will not let the efforts of those who came before us be in vain or accept fascism as our fate.
This election has been devastating. People are scared, exhausted, and angry. We get it. People have spent years resisting Trump and MAGA's attempts to roll back our rights and freedoms. We have had to endure their constant attacks against our communities and loved ones, sowing division and stoking hate. Trump has unearthed the worst of our country, but that is not the only truth of our country.
MAGA Republicans have gutted the Voting Rights Act. They spread misinformation and propaganda. And they eroded the public's trust in our political system.1
And still. Millions of people support our progressive vision of the world. Together, we are powerful. And we won't give up on us or the possibilities of this country.
We still live in a democracy. But Project 2025 wants to change that.
Project 2025 will further erode abortion access, implement mass deportations, reverse birthright citizenship, roll back LGBTQ+ rights, and dismantle public education.2 Disturbingly, it seeks to give Trump control over currently independent federal agencies, like the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation.3
But it gets worse.
There's a "fourth pillar" that the architects of Project 2025 have refused to release that could completely overhaul the executive branch of government.4 We have to be prepared NOW.
Trump and MAGA Republicans want us to feel defeated. But we sit on the shoulders of giants who have endured the worst of this country and still fought for its promise. This is a dark chapter in U.S. history. But together, we can make sure it's not the final chapter.
Trump and MAGA's hateful and authoritarian vision for the U.S. should be met with the resistance it deserves, and the communities that are under attack deserve to know that we will continue to show up and fight back against the worst of this administration.
Thanks for all you do.
