Trump’s early agenda dismantles Civil Rights Act, advances Project 2025, activists say
- In early 2025, during the initial phase of President Trump’s second term, the administration issued executive orders targeting the rollback of key elements of the 1964 Civil Rights Act across various federal departments.
- This agenda follows the conservative Project 2025 plan, which seeks a broad government overhaul including eliminating diversity initiatives and rolling back civil rights protections.
- Activists and civil rights veterans warn that these moves close civil rights offices, fire workers, and could reverse decades of protections against workplace, school, and voting discrimination.
- Marc Morial called the executive orders 'Project 2025 on steroids,' while Fatima Goss Graves said the unraveling pace is unlike anything seen in her lifetime.
- If left unopposed, these actions could cause substantial setbacks for the Civil Rights Movement, prompting worries about the administration’s effects on the foundations of democracy and the legal framework that upholds it.
