We talk about the hidden, and not so hidden, effect of this plan on our community.Project 2025, created by the Heritage Foundation has been called the blueprint for the next Trump administration. Within the document’s 900+ pages are calls for banning abortion, dismantling Medicare, taking down the Department of Education and giving the president the power to fire government employees who aren’t loyal to him.Gianna LacofanoToday we will hear perspectives on Project 2025 from four people with disabilities.
