Event Overview
In 2022, the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, released Project 2025. It aims to promote extreme policies, reshape the United States Federal Government, and consolidate executive power over the presidency if its preferred candidate wins the election.
Experts describe Project 2025 as an ideological agenda designed to push the U.S. toward autocracy. Legal experts warn that it would erode the rule of law, weaken the separation of powers, blur the lines between church and state, and threaten civil liberties. What are the implications of the proposed policies in Project 2025 for immigrant rights, reproductive rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights? Policy leaders and advocates in these fields will discuss the topic and draw on an analysis recently released by the AAPI Equity Alliance.
