Project 2025 is a blueprint for how to destroy the environment, and the Trump administration is prepared to use it. The plans that former Trump officials and Heritage Foundation staff have outlined in this document would strip away our rights to clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet.

Earthjustice has a plan too – and we were built for moments like this. With over 200 attorneys, we won 85% of our cases against the previous Trump administration. We’ve studied Project 2025, and we’re prepared to fight on behalf of the people and the planet.

What Project 2025 says about environmental justice:

• Environmental justice is not the government’s problem: Project 2025 questions whether the government should address the ways that communities of color and low-income communities are disproportionately exposed to dangerous pollution.
• Get rid of staff who work on these issues: The plan calls for disbanding offices with the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that focus on environmental justice.

How Earthjustice will fight:

• Put environmental justice first: In 2021, after years of pushing by Earthjustice and our partners, the Justice Department opened its first-ever environmental justice investigation, looking into whether an Alabama county was managing sewage in a way that disproportionately harmed Black communities.
• Raise our voice: We helped advocate for billions of dollars of funding from the Inflation Reduction Act to go to the communities that need it most.

Earthjustice is prepared to defend the environment and communities no matter who holds political office. Learn more about how Project 2025 is setting out to destroy the environment.
