The People's Guide to Project 2025

Democracy Forward read all 900+ pages of Project 2025's policy plan and created this guide to explain what it means for regular Americans. Project 2025 is a detailed plan by conservative groups that could hurt millions of people if put into action. The plan would cut overtime pay for 4.3 million workers, reduce food assistance for 40 million people, eliminate Head Start programs for over 1 million children, and cost 220,000 American jobs. It would also make healthcare more expensive, roll back civil rights protections, allow more workplace discrimination, and restrict reproductive rights. The guide breaks down these complex policies into clear sections covering wages and work, healthcare, civil rights, and environmental protections. Democracy Forward created this resource to help people understand what Project 2025 really means and how it could affect their daily lives, from their paychecks to their healthcare to their children's education.
