Project 2025 is a playbook for the next conservative president.

It contains input from more than 110 groups on key policy and personnel recommendations.

It features a 180-day action plan that includes a comprehensive, concrete transition plan for each federal agency’ It advocates blocking gender-affirming medical care for transgender people in federal health care programs, such as Medicare .

Organisations like the ACLU could then use the courts to challenge any Trump executive orders or other policy changes. And Congress can still use its oversight and investigatory roles to constrain the Trump administration’s agenda. However, Republicans now hold a majority in the Senate and may have a majority in the House of Representatives . This means activists hoping to challenge anti-LGBTQ+ policies will need a well-coordinated pro-equality action coalition at the federal, state and local levels in order to drive change and block any discriminatory policies that may arise during Trump ’s second term..
