The local community discusses Project 2025

With the release of the Project 2025 Mandate, it's been determined that P25 is one of the biggest threats to our American democracy this election. The over 900+ page document needed to be scrutinized and examined to see exactly what was that threat. So far, the Chemung County Democratic Committee (CCDC) has engaged in 2 local community discussions, where the public was invited to come and openly discuss the agenda. The items below are what have been uncovered so far. We hope the information provided below helps you to discover for yourself the steps others will take to curtail your freedom, and how they intend to destroy our democratic government.

At the request of attendees to the community discussions, we've duplicated the PowerPoint presentations, where possible. Some presentations were given orally without visuals and were not recorded, so they could not be replicated here.

  • Red, Wine & Blue: Red Wine & Blue is a 501 organization founded after the 2018 midterm election. Operating out of suburban swing districts in the United States, RWB engages women at a grassroots level and drives media narratives to better reflect issues faced by the "everyday woman". They offer a "Project 2025 Explainer Guide" and a "Project 2025 Tool Kit" on how to hold events to expose P25 to your family, friends & community. They take to heart John Lewis' saying of: Make Good Trouble! This PowerPoint on P25 was presented at a CCDC Speaker Series discussion.
  • New! from Red, Wine & Blue: Updated info on when it was Project 2001. This is not new, and in 2019 they bragged that they had implemented 1/3 of their plan. Project 2025 must be stopped at all costs.
  • Project 2025 & the US Military: Written by a distinguished Veteran of the US Military, this is a look at how P25 would affect current enlisted and Veterans if it were enacted. This PowerPoint was presented at a CCDC Speaker Series discussion.
  • Who is Prime Minister Viktor Orbán? Hungary is a warning of what could happen when a ruthless, anti-minority populist backed by a major political party is allowed to govern unchecked. Americans need to pay attention. Orban's playbook mirror's that of the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025. How democracy died in Hungary, and why soft fascism is a threat to America.
  • Stop Project 2025 The Comic Book - Seth Meyer's just released a version of Project 2025 in comic form. He gathered award winning illustrators together to make a series of comics to explain some of that agenda, and move you to vote against it. They feel you shouldn’t have to read the P25 monstrosity. It’s more than fifty times as long as the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution…combined. Project 2025 is longer because it’s a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Read it, then vote.

  • The connection between Project 2025, Christian Nationalism & White Supremacy: P25 has come to represent an authoritarian regime . Whether there is a "D" or an "R" by your name, the extremism outlined in P25 will affect wide and diverse populations of America adversely.
