AFSCME Urges Action Against Trump’s Project 2025 Anti-Worker Agenda

Project 2025 Implementation Advances Amid Controversy

The Trump administration has rapidly advanced its Project 2025 agenda, with over 40% of its objectives reportedly met within a few short months, as detailed by this Project 2025 tracker. Despite this progress, Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, denies any deliberate coordination between his office and the architects of the controversial initiative.

In a recent interview with CNN, Vought stated, “No, of course not!” when queried about the connection. As a key figure in both the administration and the project's development, Vought is tasked with executing plans that have drawn criticism for their potential impact on federal operations.

Vought's vision includes significant reductions in federal employment, a strategy that is already evident with the Department of Government Efficiency's aggressive downsizing efforts. These actions have been associated with Elon Musk's influence, as reported by AP News.

Despite assertions from Vought and President Trump, who denied awareness of Project 2025 during his presidential campaign, skepticism remains high. The agenda has been criticized for its apparent aim to dismantle public service unions, including AFSCME, as warned by their members last summer.

With significant time ahead to further implement Project 2025, the AFSCME union is rallying its members to oppose actions they view as detrimental to working families and public services. Through initiatives like the Get Organized campaign, members are actively working to safeguard their rights and the integrity of community services.

Engagement in these efforts is encouraged, as AFSCME continues to mobilize against the perceived threats posed by the unfolding policies of Project 2025. Join the movement to protect public services and community welfare.
