Organizers have websites and social media accounts setup with flyers in opposition to many of Trump’s policies and Project 2025. Project 2025 is a right-wing vision for the American government and society written by The Heritage Foundation.

What are the issues activists are protesting against?

Activists against Project 2025 said they are concerned the plan targets people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and other minority groups. They also said it increases surveillance by the government, restricts reproductive rights and could mean massive cuts to education and health care.

Trump denied having plans to implement Project 2025 during his 2024 presidential campaign. However, he has appointed several authors of Project 2025 to top roles in his administration, including “border czar” Tom Homan and Russ Vought, who is expected to lead the Office of Management and Budget.

The protests will also take aim at Trump’s executive orders targeting millions of undocumented immigrants and his pardon of more than 1,500 people involved in the U.S. Capitol riots in 2021.

What other executive orders has Trump signed?

Trump has also signed a series of executive orders to redesign and reduce the size of the nation’s federal workforce.

Additionally, the Trump administration is cracking down on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, removing gender references from government websites and placing many employees on paid leave for participating in DEI training.

What efforts are currently underway?

The Associated Press reported protesters were already preparing with signs reading “No Deportations Ever” and “Workers Unite” at a coffee shop just a block away from Michigan’s capitol building on Wednesday morning.

The protests that are expected Wednesday come after thousands of people marched in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 2, against Trump’s mass deportation efforts. Protesters shut down a major freeway for hours during the demonstrations.
