3:04 | supported by a coalition of over 100

3:07 | conservative organizations including

3:09 | think tanks advocacy groups and academic

3:12 | institutions this broad Coalition brings

3:18 | to support the Project’s goals notable

3:21 | participants include former officials

3:22 | from the Trump Administration who

3:24 | contribute their experience and insights

3:26 | to the project there are specific policy

3:29 | Focus areas in Project 2025 project 2025

3:33 | proposes significant changes to Federal

3:35 | policies on reproductive Health these

3:38 | include removing references to abortion

3:40 | from federal laws and regulations

3:42 | reversing the approval of abortion pills

3:45 | and defunding clinics that provide

3:46 | abortion or contraception Services the

3:51 | comto ACT to ban male order abortions

3:54 | and reshape Medicaid to avoid funding

3:57 | Reproductive healthare Services that

4:00 | another Focus area is cultural and

4:02 | social issues the project emphasizes the

4:04 | restoration of traditional family values

4:07 | and religious principles this includes

4:09 | opposing policies perceived as

4:11 | supporting cultural Marxism and

4:13 | promoting a pro-life agenda it advocates

4:15 | for policies that support the nuclear

4:17 | family religious liberty and traditional

4:19 | gender

4:20 | roles there’s also the leadership of

4:22 | project 2025 which is directed by Paul

4:25 | Dan a former Chief of Staff at the

4:35 | bring extensive experience from their

4:37 | previous roles in government

4:38 | contributing to the strategic planning

4:40 | and execution of the project so what are

4:43 | the criticisms of project

4:45 | 2025 project 2025 has sparked

4:48 | significant criticism from various

4:50 | sources critics argue that the project

4:52 | embodies a comprehensive plan to

4:54 | centralize executive power erode

4:56 | Democratic norms and enforce a far-right

4:59 | agenda on American governance and

5:01 | Society let’s take a look at five

5:03 | specific criticisms in more detail first

5:06 | is the centralization of executive power

5:09 | one major criticism is that project 2025

5:12 | seeks to expand presidential control

5:14 | over the federal bureaucracy the plan

5:17 | includes Reviving the schedule F

5:19 | classification which would allow the

5:20 | president to replace thousands of civil

5:22 | service employees with political

5:24 | appointees loyal to the administration

5:27 | critics argue this would undermine the

5:29 | nonpartisan nature of the Civil Service

5:31 | and politicize federal agencies making

5:34 | them tools of the executive branch

5:36 | rather than independent

5:38 | entities second is the attack on

5:40 | Democratic institutions critics

5:42 | highlight that project 2025 is blueprint

5:44 | includes proposals to dismantle or

5:46 | weaken key Democratic institutions this

5:49 | includes plans to defund the Department

5:51 | of Justice and dismantle the FBI and

5:53 | other agencies that could act as checks

5:56 | on Presidential Power such moves are

5:58 | seen as efforts to undermine the rule of

6:00 | law and enable the executive branch to

6:02 | operate with little oversight or

6:04 | accountability third the project also

6:06 | faces criticism for its potential use of

6:09 | government power to Target political

6:10 | opponents and critics there are fears

6:12 | that it would enable the executive to

6:15 | pursue legal action against political

6:17 | adversaries and critical media Outlets

6:19 | drawing parallels to authoritarian

6:21 | regimes where dissent is suppressed

6:23 | through State mechanisms the fourth

6:25 | criticism is the social and cultural

6:27 | agenda project 2025 policy agenda

6:30 | includes strong positions on social

6:32 | issues promoting conservative values

6:34 | that critics argue could roll back

6:36 | rights and protections for various

6:38 | groups the document outlines plans to

6:41 | restrict lgbtq plus rights enforce

6:44 | strict anti-abortion measures and

6:46 | integrate Christian nationalist

6:47 | principles into government policy this

6:50 | agenda has raised concerns about the

6:52 | erosion of civil liberties and the

6:54 | imposition of a particular religious and

6:56 | ideological framework on the entire

6:58 | nation

7:00 | lastly is the environmental and climate

7:02 | policy roll backs the Project’s stance

7:04 | on environmental regulations is

7:06 | contentious it proposes significant roll

7:09 | backs of climate policies which critics

7:11 | argue would have detrimental effects on

7:13 | efforts to combat climate change and

7:15 | protect the environment this aspect of

7:18 | the plan is seen as catering to business

7:20 | interests at the expense of long-term

7:22 | ecological
