Project 2025 is part of a plan written by an extreme conservative organization called the Heritage Foundation. Every presidential election year, the Heritage Foundation releases a new plan full of dangerous conservative goals for the future of the United States. Donald Trump was able to enact many of the 2017 Project’s goals during his first presidency, and there’s no reason to believe he won’t do the same in the future if given the opportunity.

In fact, well over half of the Project 2025 contributors have worked directly in Donald Trump’s administration or on his campaign or transition teams.

Donald Trump’s plan to enact the extreme goals of Project 2025, which include rolling back reproductive rights and cutting taxes for corporations, is wildly out of touch with the needs of Minnesotans and could have wide-reaching implications across our state. 

Here’s exactly how Project 2025 would affect Minnesota:

Project 2025 would put the wealthy and large corporations over Minnesota’s working families

Project 2025 would give tax breaks to the wealthy and large corporations while working families pay the price. Under the plan, households in America reporting more than $10 million in income would each see an average annual tax cut of $1.5 million. 

Project 2025 would restrict abortion rights and contraception nationwide 

Project 2025 would impact 861,000 women in Minnesota who would lose guaranteed access to free emergency contraception. 

The plan instructs the U.S. Department of Justice to misapply the Comstock Act, a pair of laws from 1873 and 1909, to criminalize the mailing of medication abortion. Doing so would result in an effective abortion ban nationwide, even in states where abortion is legal. 

Project 2025 instructs the Department of Justice to take legal action against local officials who refuse to bring cases against women and doctors who violate state abortion bans.

Project 2025 would make cuts to Social Security and raise the retirement age 

Project 2025 plans to cut Social Security by raising the retirement age for roughly 73 percent of Minnesota residents—4,182,010 people.

Project 2025 would restrict health care access for thousands of Minnesotans 

Project 2025 would make sweeping cuts to Medicaid, putting 293,700 Minnesota Medicaid enrollees at risk of losing coverage because they are low-income and lack access to alternative, affordable coverage. 

Project 2025 would raise the cost of prescription drugs for up to 234,800 people in Minnesota by eliminating out-of-pocket Medicare drug cost limits.

Project 2025 would devastate public education in Minnesota  

Trump and conservatives’ Project 2025 plan seeks to ban books, criminalize librarians, and restrict students’ freedom to learn.

Project 2025 also eliminates the U.S. Department of Education, including Title I, which provides funds to ensure schools serving low-income students have additional resources to deliver a high-quality education beyond that which can be supported by local property tax revenue. 

Ending Title I would lead to the loss of 1,811 teaching positions in Minnesota, which serve 28,070 students.

We need to hold Donald Trump and Conservatives Accountable 

Project 2025 isn’t just a threat – it’s a roadmap for enacting some of the most extreme conservative policies our country has ever seen. With our reproductive freedoms on the line, it’s more important than ever that we tell Donald Trump and conservatives to keep their dangerous, anti-choice policy agenda out of Minnesota, but we need your help.
