Within hours of Donald Trump claiming victory in the 2024 presidential race, People for the American Way on Wednesday, Nov. 6, announced its new campaign, “Resist Project 2025.”
Svante Myrick, president of People For the American Way, warned, “Make no mistake, the election result is horrifying and we should not kid ourselves: Trump 47 will be worse than last time. He has signaled he intends to preside over a regime of fascism and bigotry on steroids, one that will be empowered by a MAGA Supreme Court. That means the resistance must start now!”
Resist Project 2025 is “a roadmap for immediate resistance to an incoming Trump administration and for a strong pro-democracy movement for freedom and justice,” according to a People for the American Way press release. “The plan calls for assembling a unique coalition of young progressive officials, faith leaders and artists to take prominent roles in resistance and reform.”
Myrick added, “We will fight every attack on our freedoms by Trump and his willing sycophants with every bit of energy, passion, skill and resources we have, and we’re inviting people to join us
“We will work immediately to confirm all remaining Biden judicial nominees in the upcoming lame duck session, to help shore up our courts,” he continued. “We will commit immediately to standing against the abuses and corruption we know we will see in another Trump administration, but we won’t stop there. We envision fundamental changes in our democracy that we will begin working toward today, so 20 years from now we and our children and grandchildren will never again have to fear living under tyranny.”
Ultimately, according to the press release, Resist Project 2025 “envisions an America where all Americans have an equal say in elections that are fair and safe – where Americans from every state, not just ‘battleground states,’ get a vote that counts towards determining who will become president, where billionaires can’t buy elections and put out disinformation, and
