NAACP President Derrick Johnson Delivers Powerful Breakdown Of Project 2025’s Impact On Black People
The 2024 election is more than a political contest; it’s a crucial moment for the future of Black Americans. At the heart of this moment is Project 2025, a 920-page agenda from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Titled “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise,” this document lays out a plan that could devastate Black communities and other marginalized groups.

Project 2025 is packed with proposals that would dismantle key institutions and protections. It calls for eliminating the Department of Education, rolling back affirmative action, eradicating social welfare programs, and ending abortion rights. The agenda also targets civil protections for the LGBTQIA+ community, seeks to criminalize homelessness, and aims to end immigration. These changes are designed to marginalize Black people and entrench power among a select few.
A Dangerous Agenda with Devastating Consequences
NAACP President Derrick Johnson has been vocal about the dangers of Project 2025. “It’s an effort to redesign the role of government to shut Black people out and put us in a position as disposable, cheap labor,” Johnson said. He warned that this plan seeks to create an America where only certain people, primarily from the white race, have the opportunity to thrive.

Johnson also highlighted the agenda’s aim to cement lifetime federal judges who could undermine constitutional rights, making Project 2025 a direct threat to the progress made over decades. DNC Senior Spokesperson Marcus W. Robinson echoed these concerns, calling the project “dangerous and dystopian” for Black Americans, pointing to potential cuts in education, healthcare, and essential programs.
A Battle for the Soul of the Nation
As the election approaches, it’s clear that Project 2025 isn’t just another policy proposal. It’s a blueprint for rolling back civil rights and economic opportunities for Black Americans. This election isn’t just about choosing between two candidates; it’s a fight for the soul of the nation. The choice is between supporting an agenda that will harm our communities or standing against it to protect our rights and future.
