How will Project 2025 affect you locally, in your community?
Our new Toolkit for Community Organizers is designed to help answer that question and support community organizers and stakeholders to facilitate community conversations about Project 2025’s impact. The toolkit consists of 13 modules on core topics of Project 2025’s plan and focuses on local impacts, but covers its global reach. Each module presents a Case Study scenario, discussion prompts, take-home messages, strategies to fight back, and resources. The modules can serve as stand-alone units or be presented as a full workshop course, supplemented with sidebar Spotlights.
We urge everyone to look at the Spotlight on Risk Preparedness/Criminalization/Underground Survival Tips. It discusses the importance of organizations and individuals taking steps now to prepare and assess their vulnerability to Project 2025’s agenda, and learning from LGBTQIA+ activists abroad who've been forced to live and organize under the radar due to state-sanctioned criminalization. As we know, Project 2025’s agenda is already unfolding in the US and globally; the threat is not abstract or in the future. We must mobilize quickly. The biggest take-home lesson is that there is a lot we can do now, with field-tested tools and strategies, and we should not wait to act.
We invite you to share this toolkit widely. It will soon be available in Spanish and French.
