‘Stop Project 2025 Comic’

An independent group of comics creators has developed a free comic (broken into sections on a featured web site) called ‘Stop Project 2025’. Creators range from award-winning professionals to alternative creators. The titular focus is on the issue of Project 2025, with all strips uncredited.  Editors note it was an all-volunteer, all spare time effort. Links are included for voter registration.

From the site’s introduction:

Project 2025, also known as “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,” is a document created to be a roadmap for a second Donald Trump presidency.

It was prepared by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation and many former Trump staffers–those who didn’t leave in disgrace, quit in disgust, or narrowly avoid getting hanged by his mob.

Trump claims to know nothing about it. He’s lying.
And if elected, Trump’s lack of self-discipline and fathomless self-absorption means that the people he surrounds himself with will have free rein to enact Project 2025’s agenda.

So we’ve made comics to explain some of that agenda, and move you to vote against it.

We did this because you shouldn’t have to read this monstrosity. After all, it’s more than fifty times as long as the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution … combined.

Our two founding documents are short because it doesn’t take a lot of words to say “You matter, and you have a voice.”

Project 2025 is longer because it’s a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out.

Don’t let it do either.

Read on, then vote.

Topics covered include: Abortion, Anti-Trans Discrimination, Authoritarianism, Children, Christian Nationalism, Climate, Cronyism, Education, Environmental Protection Agency, Executive Orders, Extreme Weather, Health Care, Immigration, Internet Freedom, Libraries, Militarism, Police Abuse, School Lunches, Taxation, Teachers, Voting Matters, War on the Working Class
