Project 2025: A Threat to American Democracy—How You Can Fight Back Locally

Project 2025 Kills Democracy
Project 2025, spearheaded by right-wing extremists, represents a direct assault on the democratic principles that have long defined our nation. Tied to the infamous Mandate for Leadership, this initiative is a blueprint for dismantling essential government institutions, stripping away critical protections, and concentrating power in the hands of a few. Its agenda seeks to reverse decades of progress on civil rights, environmental safeguards, and voting protections.

Let’s protect our communities, state, and nation from these dangerous plans by getting involved locally and standing up for democracy.

“The extremist Mandate for Leadership, dubbed “Project 2025: Presidential Transition Project,” is a 900-page document published by the Heritage Foundation and meant to serve as a road map for a far-right presidential administration. While its policy proposals are sweeping and would affect nearly every facet of American life, its overarching goal is clear: to lay out an authoritarian playbook that would destroy the system of checks and balances our forefathers designed when they sought freedom and popular sovereignty almost 250 years ago. In dissolving the American idea, the plan’s extremist policies would give far-right politicians, judges, and corporations more control over Americans’ lives.” CAP20

Project 2025 and the radical far-right policies it has inspired would disrupt nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives—from health care and education access to taxes and retirement security. Stay informed about the threat Project 2025 poses. The Center for American Progress (CAP20) policy experts have developed a series of short fact sheets to explain how these policies could harm your family, livelihood, and rights. Explore the fact sheets:

The danger of Project 2025 lies in its authoritarian vision: to stack government agencies with loyalists, suppress dissent, and roll back fundamental rights. From gutting climate policies to undoing healthcare reforms and reversing reproductive freedoms, the far-right has a chilling plan to reshape America in a way that benefits corporations and the ultra-wealthy while silencing marginalized communities.

But we don’t have to stand by and watch democracy be dismantled. Now is the time to get involved locally and stop extremist agendas like Project 2025. Across the country, grassroots organizations are mobilizing to defend voting rights, climate justice, and civil liberties. BisMan Leaders is a local effort based in Bismarck-Mandan that empowers citizens to fight back against right-wing extremism and ensure that our communities remain bastions of democracy and equality.

By getting involved with BisMan Leaders, you can:

  • Organize at the grassroots level to push back against anti-democratic legislation.
  • Attend local town halls and meetings to hold your representatives accountable.
  • Work on voter registration drives to ensure every voice is heard in upcoming elections.
  • Join advocacy efforts to safeguard civil rights, climate protections, and healthcare access.

Citizens must rally together to expose and fight back against this extremist agenda, ensuring that democracy remains by the people, for the people—not controlled by a radical few. Our nation’s future depends on it.
