Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a comprehensive plan developed by the conservative Heritage Foundation and a coalition of over 50 right-wing organizations to reshape the entire federal government in the event of a Republican presidential victory in 2024.[1][2] Its key objectives are:
– Recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to replace existing federal civil servants, whom Republicans view as the “deep state”.[1] This is based on the unitary executive theory that the president has absolute control over the executive branch.[1]
– Drastically reduce or eliminate various federal agencies like the Department of Education, Department of Justice, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and curb environmental and climate change regulations.[1][2]
– Infuse the government with conservative Christian principles, criminalize pornography, remove LGBTQ+ protections, and terminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs.[1]
– Immediately deploy the military for domestic law enforcement, arrest and deport undocumented immigrants, and promote capital punishment.[1]
– Reorient foreign policy to prioritize confronting China and expand the military.[2]
The project has four pillars: a comprehensive conservative policy agenda, a database to recruit personnel, training for new appointees, and a “playbook” for the first 180 days of the new administration.[3] Its director admits it aims to “weaponize” conservatives to regain control of the federal government.[1]

What Are The Main Policy Proposals Of Project 2025
Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, outlines a radical conservative agenda to thoroughly reshape the federal government if Republicans win the 2024 presidential election. Its main policy proposals include:
– Recruiting tens of thousands of conservatives to replace existing federal civil servants, based on the unitary executive theory giving the president total control over the executive branch.[1][3]
– Drastically reducing or eliminating various federal agencies like the Department of Education, Department of Justice, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and curbing environmental regulations.[1][2][4]
– Infusing the government with conservative Christian principles, criminalizing pornography, removing LGBTQ+ protections, and terminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs.[1][4]
– Immediately deploying the military for domestic law enforcement, arresting and deporting undocumented immigrants, and promoting capital punishment.[1][4]
– Reorienting foreign policy to prioritize confronting China, expanding the military, and bringing homeland security under the Department of Defense.[4][5]
– Abolishing the Federal Reserve and reversing climate change policies to increase fossil fuel extraction.[5]
The project has a comprehensive 920-page policy document “Mandate for Leadership” and plans for personnel changes, training, and a “playbook” for the first 180 days of the new administration to swiftly implement this conservative agenda.[1][2][3][4][5]

What Is The Conservative Promise Of Project 2025
The “Conservative Promise” of Project 2025, as outlined in its 920-page policy document “Mandate for Leadership,” represents a radical conservative agenda to thoroughly reshape the federal government and American society if Republicans win the 2024 presidential election. The key promises and proposals include:
– Recruiting and installing tens of thousands of vetted conservative loyalists across the federal bureaucracy to replace existing civil servants, based on the “unitary executive” theory giving the president total control.[1][3]
– Dramatically reducing or eliminating various federal agencies like the Departments of Education, Justice, Homeland Security, curbing environmental regulations, and abolishing the Federal Reserve.[1][5]
– Infusing the government with conservative Christian values, criminalizing pornography, removing LGBTQ+ protections, and terminating diversity and inclusion programs.[1]
– Immediately deploying the military for domestic law enforcement, arresting and deporting undocumented immigrants en masse, and expanding capital punishment.[1]
– Reorienting foreign policy to aggressively confront China as the top priority, expanding the military, and bringing homeland security under the Department of Defense.[1][5]
– Reversing climate change policies to increase fossil fuel extraction and end economic engagement with China.[1][5]
The project has a comprehensive “180-Day Playbook” with specific plans for each federal agency to swiftly implement this conservative agenda within the first six months of the new administration.[1][4] Its goal is to assemble an “army” of conservatives to thoroughly “deconstruct the Administrative State.”[5]

What Is The Likelihood Of This Passing?
Based on the information provided in the search results, the likelihood of Project 2025 being fully implemented depends heavily on whether Republicans win the 2024 presidential election and control both chambers of Congress.
If a Republican president is elected in 2024, the search results suggest it is highly likely (around 90% chance according to one Reddit comment[5]) that Project 2025 would become the key policy outline and roadmap for the new administration’s agenda. However, the degree to which it could be enacted would depend on Republican control of Congress:
– If Republicans win the presidency and control both the House and Senate, they would have a much higher chance of implementing large portions of Project 2025’s radical conservative agenda to reshape the federal government, agencies, policies, and personnel.[1][3][4][5]
– If Republicans only control the presidency or have a divided Congress, there would be significant opposition and obstacles to fully enacting Project 2025, limiting its implementation.[5]
That said, even with full control, implementing the entire sweeping 920-page “Mandate for Leadership” policy agenda and goals like replacing tens of thousands of civil servants would still face immense legal, bureaucratic and political hurdles.[1][3][5]
So in summary, Project 2025 becoming the blueprint for the next administration is quite likely if Republicans win in 2024, but the extent to which it could be realized depends heavily on whether they achieve unified government control or face a divided Congress acting as a check on its most extreme proposals.[1][3][4][5]

How Will It Affect Black People
Project 2025 outlines a radical conservative agenda that would have severely detrimental impacts on Black Americans across multiple areas:
Education
– Reversing student debt relief efforts would disproportionately harm Black borrowers who face higher debt burdens.[1][2]
– Eliminating the Department of Education and federal funding like Title I for low-income students would deprive many Black students of educational resources and opportunities.[3]
Health Care
– Imposing work requirements for Medicaid would disadvantage Black Americans facing employment discrimination and higher poverty rates, jeopardizing their healthcare access.[1][2]
Reproductive Rights
– Criminalizing abortion, including the abortion pill, would hit Black women hardest as they receive one-third of all abortions yet face higher maternal mortality rates.[1][2]
LGBTQ+ Rights
– Revoking LGBTQ+ protections and criminalizing discussions of LGBTQ+ issues would endanger Black LGBTQ+ individuals, especially Black transgender women facing an “epidemic of violence.”[1]
Civil Rights
– Abolishing affirmative action policies and prosecuting institutions with diversity programs would roll back critical gains in racial equality and representation for Black communities.[1][2]
– Emphasizing “anti-white racism” prosecutions and voter fraud claims would enable voter suppression tactics that disproportionately disenfranchise Black voters.[1][2]
Climate/Environment
– Gutting environmental regulations and clean energy initiatives would exacerbate the disproportionate pollution exposure and health risks that low-income Black communities already face from fossil fuels.[1][2]
In essence, Project 2025 seeks to systematically dismantle many of the hard-won civil rights, economic opportunities, and legal protections that have promoted greater equality for Black Americans over recent decades.[1][2][3]

Can It Be Considered Neo Jim Crow?
Based on the provided sources, there are strong arguments that the voting barriers and suppression tactics employed in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp can be considered forms of “neo-Jim Crow” voter suppression targeting African Americans.
The opinion piece by Carol Anderson [5] directly refers to the “Neo-Jim Crow barriers” faced by African American voters in Georgia, such as:
– Strict voter ID laws that disproportionately burdened elderly Black voters who had to struggle to produce IDs.
– The “exact match” voter registration program that kicked 53,000 registrations into “purgatory”, 70% of which were from African Americans, acting as a modern “literacy test”.
– Voting machine issues, long lines, and rejected absentee ballots at much higher rates in majority-Black precincts.
– The literacy tests and poll taxes of the Jim Crow era that had reduced Black voter registration to under 10% in parts of the South until struck down by the Voting Rights Act.
Anderson argues these tactics, overseen by the Republican candidate Brian Kemp who controlled the elections, amounted to “Neo-Jim Crow” suppression reminiscent of the disenfranchisement of African Americans during segregation.[5]
The sources also highlight how the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013 enabled these voter suppression measures by removing federal oversight over states with histories of discrimination.[5]
While the term “neo-Jim Crow” is not universally used, the sources present a strong case that the disproportionate barriers faced by Black voters in Georgia resembled historical Jim Crow-era disenfranchisement through new means and modern forms of systemic racism.[4][5]

What Is The Definition Of Neo-Jim Crow?
The sources provided do not give an explicit definition of the term “neo-Jim Crow.” However, they discuss the concept and provide context that allows us to infer its meaning:
Neo-Jim Crow refers to contemporary policies, practices and societal patterns that resemble and perpetuate the systemic racial discrimination and disenfranchisement of African Americans that existed during the Jim Crow era of legal segregation and disenfranchisement in the United States.
Specifically, the sources suggest neo-Jim Crow encompasses:
– Voter suppression tactics and barriers that disproportionately disenfranchise Black voters, akin to historical literacy tests and poll taxes used to prevent Black voting during Jim Crow.[4][5]
– Persisting racial segregation, inequality and white supremacy in areas like housing, education and employment, despite the end of legal segregation.[2][4]
– Cultural appropriation, stereotyping and exploitation of Black culture and experiences by the white mainstream.[2]
– The perpetuation of a racial hierarchy and systemic racism that marginalizes and oppresses African Americans, despite claims of a “post-racial” society after the Civil Rights movement.[2][4]
So in essence, neo-Jim Crow refers to new forms of racial injustice, disenfranchisement and oppression of Black people that have emerged and persisted after the end of the de jure Jim Crow laws, adapting to a new era while preserving elements of the former racist system.[2][4][5] The term highlights how the struggles and systemic barriers faced by African Americans have evolved rather than ended.
