Watch an engaging discussion on Project 2025
The authoritarian playbook outlined in Project 2025 presents a profound threat to American democracy and religious freedom. It has received widespread media attention and was a topic of discussion during the one presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. To defeat Project 2025, we first have to understand it. We hosted a webinar on October 21, which you can now watch on demand.
This webinar features one of the nation’s foremost experts on Project 2025: Democracy Forward President and Interfaith Alliance Board Member Skye Perryman. Democracy Forward published the People’s Guide to Project 2025. She’s joined by Interfaith Alliance’s Senior Director of Policy & Advocacy Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, who was the first person to draw attention to the theocratic elements of Project 2025.
In addition to opposing Project 2025, we also need to offer an alternative vision. Interfaith Alliance calls our vision Promise 2025. Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, Interfaith Alliance’s President and CEO, discusses the need to advance a multi-racial, multi-religious democracy.

One Year of The Trump Administration’s Attacks on Faith Communities and Abuse of Religion
Over its first year, the Trump administration has weaponized religion to advance a white Christian nationalist agenda, attacking faith leaders, houses of worship, immigrants, and religious minorities while undermining core principles of religious freedom. Even as federal power has been used to intimidate and exclude, faith communities across traditions have mobilized to defend democracy, pluralism, and the right of all people to practice their beliefs.
