With Donald Trump’s return to the White House—and today marking the first 100 days of his second term—the once-abstract vision of Project 2025 is now being aggressively translated into federal policy eroding civil rights, rolling back LGBTQ+ protections, and centralizing unchecked power in the executive branch.
Backed by dark money and Christian nationalist leaders, the Project 2025 plan targets women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, people of color and other marginalized communities and dismantles democratic institutions. Every day, we’re seeing the radical agenda of the far-right, once confined to the edges of political discourse, rapidly materializing into a tangible and alarming threat. Project 2025, an anti-democratic, authoritarian manifesto orchestrated by over 100 Christian nationalist and extremist leaders, is now being brought to life, impacting us all.

Trump’s administration has also abandoned key efforts to counter white supremacist and far-right terrorism, gutting prevention programs and diverting law enforcement resources away from addressing the growing threat of extremist violence. This includes removing GPAHE’s first-of-its-kind global extremist symbol database, used by tech companies, law enforcement and policymakers around the world. These rollbacks not only cripple the government’s ability to respond to domestic terrorism but also send a chilling signal of tolerance—or even complicity—for extremist ideologies.
In just 100 days, Trump and his cronies are already reshaping U.S. democracy with extremist ideologies, undermining the very foundations of our nation, and there is much more to come as Project 2025 is further implemented. Project 2025 is no longer just a blueprint—it is an operating manual for authoritarian governance already in motion.
This march away from democratic values demands immediate action to resist authoritarian overreach, and GPAHE is stepping up with much-needed research, public education, and advocacy.
