New resource will track hundreds of Project 2025 proposals, provide reporters and civil society groups data on the administration’s executive action agenda
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Governing for Impact (GFI) and the Center for Progressive Reform launched their joint Project 2025 Tracker to monitor the incoming Trump administration’s unilateral efforts to make the new infamous policy blueprint a reality. The tracker — which breaks out the domestic executive action proposals included in the 900-page blueprint — will be updated by GFI’s and the Center’s teams of regulatory lawyers as the Trump administration takes action, providing a comprehensive view of the administration’s implementation of Project 2025.
Developed by the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 provides a roadmap for the incoming administration to consolidate power in the presidency so that it can force through an ultra-right-wing agenda. The playbook proposes sweeping changes across 30 federal agencies that will have devastating consequences on workers, the environment, public health, and the rights of millions of Americans.
“Despite wide media coverage of Project 2025, no centralized resource has been created to easily and comprehensively track its implementation, ” said Rachael Klarman, Executive Director of GFI. “GFI and CPR created the Project 2025 Tracker to close this gap, offering a vital resource for policymakers, legal experts, and advocates to monitor and respond to Trump administration actions. ”
“As a candidate, Trump made his repeated disavowals of Project 2025 a key part of his pitch to Americans to vote for him. That’s why the Center is committed to holding his administration accountable by closely tracking whether it lives up to this promise over the next four years,” said James Goodwin, Policy Director at the Center for Progressive Reform.
During his first term, Trump accomplished over two-thirds of the Heritage Foundation’s agenda. Trump attempted to distance himself from the playbook before the election, even saying he would “black list” people who signed on to the plan. But since November, Trump has appointed several Project 2025 authors to his administration, and already issued directives to implement many of its policies.
