With the US presidential election now less than a month away, multiple comics creators have unveiled the online anthology Stop Project 2025, designed to inform voters about Republican candidate Donald Trump‘s agenda should he be reelected this November. The comics are based on the conservative Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Promise, which outlines what they would want Trump to enact if he returns to the White House.

Other contributors to the book declined to be credited: the official website states, “We respect and protect their privacy, and thank them for their anonymous contributions.” It can be read as a single PDF document, or as separate pages on anti-trans discrimination, climate change, healthcare, immigration, teachers’ unions, and many more (complete with transcripts) via the homepage.
As the introduction notes, “Trump claims to know nothing about [Project 2025]. [But] he’s lying. And if elected, Trump’s lack of self-discipline and fathomless self-absorption means that the people he surrounds himself with will have free rein to enact Project 2025’s agenda. So we’ve made comics to explain some of that agenda, and move you to vote against it. We did this because you shouldn’t have to read this monstrosity. After all, it’s more than fifty times as long as the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution… combined. Our two founding documents are short because it doesn’t take a lot of words to say ‘You matter, and you have a voice.’ Project 2025 is longer because it’s a detailed plan to shut you up, and shut you out. Don’t let it do either. Read on, then vote.”
