The Underground Railroad Education Center in Albany, New York, has filed a lawsuit alleging the Trump administration unlawfully terminated its $250,000 federal grant based on race. The center claims this cancellation, citing the administration’s directive to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, violates constitutional rights. The lawsuit points to President Trump’s executive order mandating the elimination of DEI-supporting operations, arguing that the termination of grants focused on Black history is part of a systematic targeting of such programs. This legal action seeks the reinstatement of funds, highlighting the significant setback the loss has caused for the center’s expansion plans.

The Heritage Foundation, instrumental in Project 2025, has released a new manifesto, “Saving America by Saving the Family,” which seeks to reverse declining birth rates by making independent life harder for women. This plan, seen as a social vision underpinning Project 2025, aims to roll back decades of women’s freedoms by discouraging careers outside the home and promoting dependence on men. The document blames feminism for encouraging women to rethink their traditional roles, proposing policies that reward married families, eliminate childcare incentives, and potentially restrict reproductive technologies like IVF. This agenda, driven by a vision of a patriarchal society, seeks to reshape political power by limiting women’s autonomy and public life.
