Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would strip away Americans’ most fundamental rights and freedoms; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would devastate working families across America, raising costs, lowering wages, destroying our environment, and dismantling access to health care; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would slash vital lifelines like Social Security and Medicare and make hardworking American taxpayers work longer for less; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would remove protections for people with pre-existing health conditions, raise prescription drug prices, ban Medicare from negotiating lower drug costs, and put a new tax on health insurance for people who get coverage at work; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would criminalize abortion nationwide, restrict access to birth control, and even ban fertility services like IVF; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would allow government agents to monitor pregnancies to potentially prosecute parents if they miscarry; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would cut school meals for kids, end Head Start for preschoolers, slash public school funding, and fire teachers across the country; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would raise costs and slash investments for working families to give huge new tax breaks to billionaires, CEOs, and the biggest corporations; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, threatens America’s national security and our ability to compete across the globe; Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would destroy fundamental checks and balances on Presidential powers; and Whereas Project 2025, if enacted, would terminate the United States Constitution: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives condemns in the strongest terms Project 2025.
