Legal analysis released by Legal Defense Fund highlights specific harms rightwing plan poses to Black communities

Project 2025, the 900-page ultra-conservative roadmap that details how the former president Donald Trump and his allies would restructure the US government if he is elected, has specific implications for Black Americans, according to a new report.

The Legal Defense Fund (LDF), an organization that fights for racial justice, recently released the most in-depth legal analysis of Project 2025’s impact on Black communities. It highlights how Black Americans would be harmed due to policies that would weaken anti-discrimination laws; dismantle the Department of Education; threaten Black political power; increase the use of the death penalty (which disproportionately affects Black people); and exacerbate health disparities caused by environmental racism.

Karla McKanders, the director of the LDF’s Thurgood Marshall Institute (TMI), the in-house research thinktank that produced the report, said she wanted people to understand the “larger impact that Project 2025 will have on our democracy and undermining our democracy”.

    Where’s your “bar” then? You want a list of every single media outlet that scrutinizes black voters as if they are a dominant voting block?

    Where is your goal post hiding now so I can hurry along to meet it?

        There’s not a thing you could say to overcome my prejudiced view of you.

        Typical white American bigot logic.
