Project 2025 is a conservative movement plan for remaking America. It is also known as the “Presidential Transition Project of the US Conservative Party,” an electoral playbook for a GOP 2025 victory.

Project 2025 is composed of four parts, or “pillars”. One is a well-organized tactical plan with a long view that uses white, narrowly-defined "Christian" language and inferences in its "Mandate for Leadership" handbook. Other pillars comprise an online recruitment database, training program, and a 180-day playbook.

Project 2025 was released as a PDF document and in book form in summer 2023 by The Heritage Foundation. It is supported by 100 conservative groups (as of June 2024), and backed by Leonard Leo and right-wing billionaires who are financing its agenda. Project 2025 advances a Christian nationalist ideology, and envisions American becoming a Christian-led nation, whose laws and policies reflect Christian principles including a “pro-life” agenda. 

The blueprint is 887 pages long, broken down into 30 chapters, each covering a department of the federal government. The chapters were written by a different author or coauthors, many of them former  officials from the 2016 Trump administration, as well as 400 scholars and policy experts from across the  conservative movement and US. It was edited by the leadership of The Heritage Foundation, which is  guiding its promotion, and helping to recruit up to 20,000 Christian conservative loyalists and 5000 lawyers to serve a future administration and enact the next GOP’s agenda.

Project 2025’s overarching goal is a “top to bottom” blueprint for systematic reform of the current  federal system of governance to “destroy the Administrative State.” That includes a sweeping and targeted goal of removing, or rolling back, federal policies deemed to be examples of “leftist wokeism”:  programs to support gender and LGBTQ+ civil rights, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and Biden policies in energy, environmental policy, defense, and international aid – among key sectors.
