Understanding Trump's Dangerous Project 2025

 

Hi folks,


We want to draw your attention to Project 2025, a Republican Initiative that promises to be dangerous to our Republic.  Here is a link to the website and the complete plan, Project 2025 | Presidential Transition Project.  If you are interested in looking at it.  It's a dangerous plan, so it's critical that we are familiar with it, and understand what it means if the Republicans succeed. 

Here are some references you can use to familiarize yourself with it that are not so extensive. 
 

 

Quick overview of the Trump Project 2025.  Project 2025 is a 900 page long document, but Ester Turner from Rochester developed a thumbnail sketch which I will share with you.
