By now you have heard of Project 2025. It is the Republican mandate that details a plan to dismantle the US government by concentrating power with the US President.
The leadership of Edmond Democratic Women is deeply concerned about the plans contained in the 900+ page document. So that you won’t have to, several members who are subject matter experts are researching many of the topics that we feel are pertinent to our members as well as our friends and family. The page number of the Project 2025 Mandate is referenced in each subject matter document that is posted. If you click the link of the page number, it will take you to the actual document to read exactly what is written.
This leadership playbook is authored by over 140 members of Trump’s first administration and advisors. They claim the proposals in Project 2025 can be implemented through executive action alone – without new legislation. What would that mean for Oklahoma residents, families, and businesses?
We are sharing what we have learned here so that you can tell others about how this mandate will change things in our country if Donald Trump is elected in November. Defeating this plan is one of the most important reasons to vote to elect Democrats.
One very concerning thing for us is that Project 2025 is already being put into place in Oklahoma. Actions by our Governor, Secretary of Public Instruction, and the Republican super-majority legislature at our state Capitol include using public money in the form of vouchers for private schools, using tax dollars for Christian schools, turning away federal funds for Title 1 programs, banning books, mandating Christian education in public schools, ignoring Native American treaties, taking away LGBTQ+ rights, banning reproductive healthcare and discounting environmental issues. We are being used to try out many of the things covered in the mandate.
We, along with many other Americans, are very concerned that this will give Trump powers that no other President has ever had. It will make him even more dangerous than during his first term.
From higher education to the very definition of family, this overarching Project 2025 document has the potential to change every single facet of American life.
