Across the United States, communities face mounting pressures from coordinated efforts designed to undo decades of progress on civil rights, equity, and collective well-being. Institutions like The Heritage Foundation, through its Project 2025, and political figures like Trump, pursue long-term plans that erode protections, intensify discrimination, and reinforce hierarchies of power. At A Radical Guide, we recognize these threats as part of an ongoing struggle rather than fleeting political episodes. In response, we have developed Resist Project 2025—an initiative committed to confronting authoritarianism, strengthening community resilience, and advancing grassroots organizing.
Your support makes resistance possible. Donate today to fund immediate community defense and long-term organizing efforts.
Resist Project 2025 began during a presidential election season, but it has evolved into a sustained effort that stretches far beyond any single election. Instead of periodic mobilizations, we focus on year-round vigilance and support networks that anticipate threats, respond effectively, and remain focused on collective liberation. By situating this work within A Radical Guide’s broader mission, we draw on a wealth of resources, global insights, and historical lessons that inform our approach to lasting change.
Understanding Authoritarian Threats
The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 and related policy proposals represent coordinated attempts to undercut fundamental rights and protections. These efforts seek to restrict voting rights, target immigrants with mass deportations, roll back reproductive freedoms and limit gender-affirming care. They chip away at protections for marginalized groups, including Black communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities.
Much of this happens through subtle means—administrative rule changes, appointments to key positions, and policies that never make headlines but carry deep consequences. With your support, we maintain comprehensive monitoring systems that track and expose these changes in real-time, ensuring communities aren’t caught off guard. Every $50 contributed helps us research and document one potentially harmful policy change, allowing communities to respond before it’s too late.
Defending Civil Rights and Fostering Resilience
Our initiative centers on supporting movements defending civil rights. Instead of merely cataloging threats, Resist Project 2025 directly channels material and financial resources to those pushing back. Monthly donations of $25 help communities fight unjust laws, resist hateful policies, protect families facing deportation, and preserve access to honest history.
Building resilience within communities is essential. Resilience means more than surviving attacks; it means adapting and strengthening solidarity in the face of adversity. Your recurring support sustains mutual aid groups, neighborhood defense networks, and community-driven solutions that have long protected vulnerable populations. A donation of $100 can help fund rapid response networks for a week, enabling communities to coordinate responses to deportation sweeps, maintain health access when policies restrict care, or provide educational resources when censorship looms.
We recognize that authoritarian forces operate with patience, resources, and long-term plans. In response, we help create and maintain repositories of knowledge—legal frameworks, organizing tactics, educational materials—that can be shared and adapted as conditions change. Monthly donors make this long-term work possible, ensuring we can build and maintain these crucial resources.
Advancing Grassroots Organizing
Grassroots organizing drives long-term change. Local activists know their communities intimately, responding quickly when oppressive measures surface. With sustained donor support, Resist Project 2025 provides these community-led movements with crucial funding, training, and connections to broader networks. A gift of $250 can fund a community organizing training session, while $500 helps strengthen neighborhood defense efforts.
This support takes many forms: financial assistance to groups standing against voter suppression, tools for activists building neighborhood alliances, and forums for sharing successful strategies. Communities resisting authoritarian measures are not just abstract subjects of policy; they are people, families, and neighborhoods. Your support ensures their experiences, challenges, and victories serve as powerful tools for learning and inspiration.
