What Does Project 2025 Say?

Share this page:

On November 5, 2024, the United States Elected Donald J. Trump to a second term. The day after that, his allies gleefully admitted that Project 2025 was their – and his – agenda the entire time.

This is what we’re up against.

“Finally, the new Administration must seek repeal of the Antiquities Act of 1906, which permitted emergency action by a President long before the statutory authority existed for the protection of special federal lands, such as those with wild and scenic rivers, endangered specials, or other unique places.”
Citation: Project 2025, Section 3.7: Department of the Interior, William Perry Pendley, page 564, paragraph 5
Context:

I’m assuming “endangered specials” is a typo and should be “endangered species.” This is more legislation that will crush the environment and our natural resources and habitats. Pendley basically wants to open and expose ALL available land in the United States to fossil fuel extraction, regardless of its impact on the land and its inhabitants.

In addition to the environmental impact, the Antiquities Act has been instrumental in protecting archaeological sites and historical landmarks, such as Native American ruins and petroglyphs. Repeal would leave these sites vulnerable to looting, vandalism, and destruction by development or natural decay. Not to mention the inevitable job losses when resources are depleted.
