Trump, Project 2025 protests planned in multiple cities

Protests against President Trump, Project 2025 and other issues have been planned in multiple cities for Wednesday.

“We the people reject the agenda proposed by the Heritage Foundation in its publication of Project 2025. Its rhetoric intends to divide, isolate, and alienate our society, as well as dismantle the foundational liberties of our country by attacking our institutions,” reads a website stating there will be “50 Marches on 2/5/25 to defend liberty, equality, and justice.”

“The authors directly assaulted our individual liberties, targeting citizens by race, gender, sexual orientation, economic status, national origin, or by any means they choose,” the website continues. “The policies proposed undermine systemic freedoms such as free education, free speech, labor and employment protections, and affordable healthcare.”

An Instagram account features posts saying there will be protests in places including Vermont, Virginia, Oklahoma and Georgia.

Project 2025 is a 900-page “governing agenda” from The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. It describes conservative aims in the event that Republicans captured the White House in November 2024. Trump has previously tried to distance himself from it, saying in July he isn’t aware of anything “about Project 2025.”

“I have not seen it, have no idea who is in charge of it, and, unlike our very well received Republican Platform, had nothing to do with it,” Trump said in a previous post on Truth Social.

CNN also reported in July that it found a minimum of 140 people who had been part of the first Trump administration being involved in Project 2025.

Russell Vought, President Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget, has been criticized for contributing to Project 2025, which has aligned with the president’s actions to halt and evaluate spending amid his first two and a half weeks back in office.

The Hill has reached out to the White House and The Heritage Foundation for comment.
