Here's something, on Saturday July 27th at 7pm there will be a ANTI-PROJECT 2025 rally in Times Square. We need these across the country. France and Britain fought back and won. Now it's our turn.
I'm going to mention this in my Friday hope post. We have lots of NYC-area subscribers. I'll bet Stop the Coup is putting it together. We've been working together behind the scenes.
Andra, it would be very useful if you could provide the page numbers in the Project 2025 document when you discuss the right's plans so that people can read it first-hand. This would give your readers a foothold from which to explore the actual plan.
In every post, when I quote from the document, I include the page numbers. I didn't today because it's a more general discussion, but if you drill down to one of the linked posts, you'll see that page numbered references is always how I've done it.
Another genius piece of Project 2025 is that it sounds like propaganda or a conspiracy theory when one makes lists of everything it will prohibit, prosecute, or fundamentally alter. Which is why it is vital for Americans to drill down into this site far enough to see how detailed it is, how they've tried to plan for anything. It's hard to meme or summarize.
Via the FB group, SWEEP by Red, Wine, and Blue, I've sent several people your way to learn about P2025 and your necessary interpretations of Christian Nationalist "double-speak." I hope your subscriptions are skyrocketing! :)
I think today's post, which acts like a Table of Contents, will be very helpful!
I believe the more the Project 2025 list (and variations of it) are presented to the public, from a variety of sources, the more likely it will be believed and taken seriously.
If repeated lies become "the truth," then repeated TRUTH should become yet even MORE powerful.
Exactly. Those of us who've been writing about it for months come at it from different perspectives. Taken together, it's a powerful expose and rebuke of fascism.
It will help people understand the magnitude of the damage Trump and MAGA Republicans want to do to our country. It is a resource that will enable responsible citizens across the political spectrum to educate themselves and ground their discussions with other voters in what the document actually says.
I'm not sure it's them. I don't see it as an event on their website. But I'm sure they're involved. We need more of these around the country. Lisa is right.
I just saw this video today of James Talarico giving a sermon on CN and wanted to share. I’m not religious but I also don’t judge people who are. I don’t know anything about Mr. Talarico so if he’s known to be untrustworthy then please ignore me. but I listened to this and thought “this guy fucking GETS IT.” We need more people saying these things in these ways in these spaces.
Andra, I'm talking about how P2025 will affect veterans to one of my friends on the right. She was in action in the Middle East and is now retired. I asked the other day about where the info on veterans is in the document. Thank you for your response.
Here's my dilemma. She has the document and has read that portion. She's seeing nothing wrong with it. And that may be true. But another veteran friend posted the picture below which DOES sound bad. Do you have any insight on how P2025 will affect veterans, and can you tell me how accurate the picture is in your estimation?
Project 2025's ultimate goal for the VA is to privatize it. Which will mean higher costs for veterans for inferior care. They also want to make it harder for veterans to qualify for benefits and disability. That's true. I will bookmark this to cover in full next week, Kelley. I'm sure a lot of veterans are conservative and don't realize they are voting against themselves and their interests. I will try to keep people like your friend in mind as I write.
In case you missed this, Andra. This article explains the legal theory of "coverture." It allows for the rights of a woman to simply vanish when pregnant, just like they used to when she married. No wonder intellectual conservatives fought the Equal Rights Amendment from passing. Maybe coverture will come back for married women under Project 2025?
In the most extreme far-right circles, this is already happening via calls to repeal the 19th amendment. They know most women won't vote for not owning property or not having their own credit or bank accounts and similar, so they would keep those things very close to the vest until they had full power to inflict them on us. But make no mistake: Project 2025's view of the family is the man is the head of the home and everyone else in the home obeys him. Coverture isn't far off from that worldview.
Wow. Thanks for this detailed look at Project 2025. I've put together a collection of concept maps on the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 (with page #s!) to help people understand the magnitude of the damage Trump and MAGA Republicans want to do to our country. It is a resource that will enable responsible citizens across the political spectrum to educate themselves and ground their discussions with other voters in what the document actually says. This resource can be found at
We are asking people to share it with everyone in their network. Project 2025 is not inevitable. As informed voters we can prevent the gutting of our government.
Thanks for sharing these resources, Barbara. You're in one of my favorite places. Before the pandemic, I regularly spoke in the greater Seattle area. I loved how it smelled so green every time I exited the airport.
Yes, it’s a beautiful corner of the world and I feel lucky to be here. And Washington state did a good job of mitigating the worst abuses of the former presidents administration. But if he gets reelected and they put project 2025 into affect, it’s not gonna matter. Thank you so much for all the work you have done to dig into and explain what project 2025 would really do. I’ve spent the last couple of months myself digging through the document and it’s been pretty emotionally challenging to keep my attention on just how much ill will the MAGA people bear toward the rest of us. I hope you’re getting some good support in your life! I’m currently reading through your materials on project 2025 and Christian nationalism. I’ll probably post some more notices about our webpage where it seems appropriate. I don’t want to be a pest (I’m new on Substack and still figuring out how it works) but I would really, like as many people as possible to see this resource I’ve developed. I think it’s an assessible, one stop resource for people who need to support with facts what they already know is true. Now I’m off to write postcards!
To do my little bit toward amplifying your reach I just sent the following to my election action group, Momentum Blue Seattle. We came together to get out the vote and do education on Project 2025, so your work is on point.
Hi Everyone -
In my adventures on Substack (where I am actively promoting our Stop Project 2025! webpage and getting some good uptake) I came across this newsletter by Andra Watkins. In general, she writes about Christian nationalism, but she has been researching Project 2025 since January and writing about what she finds. She has put together an impressive collection of deep dives into specific areas and issues in the document. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but the more we all know about this horrible initiative, and where to go to find authoritative information, the better as we talk to our friends and neighbors in the lead up to the election. Thanks for looking!

Damn, you're working it. Keep going. We are starting to get some traction.
Love what you are doing Andra! Anyone but 45!

Excellent. I'll pay greater attention to that.

Yup. Hiding it in plain sight.

Thank you, Kelley. More people are finding me every day because of you and so many readers like you. I appreciate you.

Please share the web link with everyone in your network and ask them to share with everyone in their network. Here's my post: https://substack.com/home/post/p-149586096?r=11kr2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web. Thanks!
Thank you Andra. This is perfect! I really like the idea of an Anti 2025 rally. I will look into the organization mentioned 👍
I'm not sure it's them. I don't see it as an event on their website. But I'm sure they're involved. We need more of these around the country. Lisa is right.
Forward, March, Call! 💙🇺🇸💙

I saw @John Pavlovitz promoting a Christians for Kamala Zoom session, and James Talarico is a speaker...Let me find it...https://johnpavlovitz.com/christiansforkamala/
Love that you're posting for new folks. This information is so very critical.
