Rep. Sewell joins the Stop Project 2025 Task Force

Project 2025 “is a roadmap to gut our system of checks and balances,” Sewell said.

Rep. Terri Sewell

U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, AL-07, announced Thursday that she is joining a new working group designed to stop Project 2025, “a far-right roadmap for Donald Trump to gut checks and balances, seize ‘supreme’ powers, and radically undermine civil rights, reproductive rights, free speech, and other democratic institutions and liberties.” The Stop Project 2025 Task Force will serve as a central hub for pro-democracy Members of Congress, civil society, and affected communities to coordinate on examining, highlighting, preempting, and counteracting this rightwing plot to undermine democracy.

“Donald Trump’s Project 2025 is a roadmap to gut our system of checks and balances and give the president unprecedented power to enact an extreme and deeply unpopular agenda,” said Rep. Sewell. “It is a threat not only to our democracy, but to the rights and freedoms that so many in our district fought to secure.”

“Make no mistake. Project 2025 is more than just an idea,” continued Sewell. “In reality, much of it is already underway in states across this nation. Look no further than Alabama where officials are engaged in banning books, attacking diversity, and stripping women of their reproductive freedom, all while making it harder to vote. As Representative of the Civil Rights District, I will do everything in my power to stop this dangerous attack on our democracy and protect our most basic rights and freedoms.”

The Stop Project 2025 Task Force is supported by many partner organizations, including leading civil society groups dedicated to the defense of democracy, good government, reproductive freedom, gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, workers’ rights, and racial, economic, environmental, and social justice.
