Watch an engaging discussion on Project 2025
The authoritarian playbook outlined in Project 2025 presents a profound threat to American democracy and religious freedom. It has received widespread media attention and was a topic of discussion during the one presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. To defeat Project 2025, we first have to understand it. We hosted a webinar on October 21, which you can now watch on demand.
This webinar features one of the nation’s foremost experts on Project 2025: Democracy Forward President and Interfaith Alliance Board Member Skye Perryman. Democracy Forward published the People’s Guide to Project 2025. She’s joined by Interfaith Alliance’s Senior Director of Policy & Advocacy Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, who was the first person to draw attention to the theocratic elements of Project 2025.
In addition to opposing Project 2025, we also need to offer an alternative vision. Interfaith Alliance calls our vision Promise 2025. Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, Interfaith Alliance’s President and CEO, discusses the need to advance a multi-racial, multi-religious democracy.
