Project 2025, Explained
The ACLU doesn’t endorse or oppose candidates for elected office — but we recognize that the re-election of Donald Trump as president will have immense implications for the future of our democratic norms, institutions, and processes. In 2022, The Heritage Foundation, a conservative-leaning think tank, and 140 former Trump staffers authored Project 2025 -- a roadmap for how to replace the rule of law with ring-wing ideals.

Project 2025 In Trump’s First Month: The Threat to Gay Rights and Freedoms
The not-so-hidden agenda behind Project 2025
Project 2025, a conservative policy plan driven by the Heritage Foundation, has gained attention for its far-reaching proposals aimed at reshaping America’s world. Many of these policies seek to target LGBTQ+ Americans and strip them of their civil liberties and rights. Though President Trump claimed to not know about Venture 2025, many anti-LGBTQ+ ideas from Undertaking 2025 have been implemented through Trump’s executive orders. As part of Interfaith Alliance’s work to promote Freedom not Extremismand protect Queer freedom, it is essential to analyze the influence Undertaking 2025 has had on proposed and implemented policies and to look at its potential consequences for LGBTQ+ rights.

Rescinding Biden-era Title IX Policies
The Biden administration’s policies on Title IX sought to protect Queer students from discrimination in schools and universities. Project 2025 aims to dismantle these protections by narrowing the scope of Title IX to exclude sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories. These plans

Trump on LGBTQ Rights
Conclusion
Across the country in recent years, trans people and their families have been targeted by a relentless assault on their rights, their safety, and their fundamental freedom to be themselves. States have adopted laws criminalizing their health care, attempting to ban them from public life, and even threatening to remove transgender youth from families that love and affirm them. Throughout this political onslaught, the ACLU, our nationwide affiliate network, and our millions of members have remained stalwart in defense of the basic principle that all people deserve the freedom to be themselves and every state should be a safe place to raise every family.
Donald Trump’s promises to take these discriminatory policies nationwide should be unthinkable, but it is nonetheless a future we’re prepared for. Transgender people are no strangers to government persecution, political slander, or the criminalization of gender nonconformity. They recognize how to construct safety, community, and care among one another, and the ACLU has a century-long history of representing, supporting, and advocating for the powerless, the silenced, the m
