Project 2025: America's Dystopian Future

Project 2025: America's Dystopian Future

Show Notes

Project 2025 is like systemic racism on steroids, and it’s the playbook developed by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation that the ultra right wants to implement within days of a GOP candidate winning the American presidency. Like systemic racism, it’s a plan that addresses every American institution—the judicial system, education, health care, law enforcement—you name it and Project 2025 aims to change the country. Listen as Dr. Carol François and her niece Kourtney Square explain how the plan is intended to upend every aspect of American life and take away rights not only of Black people, but of every American citizen.
