If youâre having trouble facing the prospect of making your way through #Project2025,
the 900-page blueprint for a second Trump administration drawn up by the conservative #Heritage #Foundation,
a loose-knit consortium of cartoonists has made it a bit easier.
Last week some of the top creators in the comics industry launched "Stop Project 2025",
a free website featuring âhighlightsâ from the plan in comics form.
The effort reflects the concerns that many in the comics community are feeling about the impact of a potential second Trump term
on issues affecting the lives of ordinary Americans.
Stop Project 2025 provides information about the document,
its connections to many once-and-future members of a Trump administration,
and its implications across a range of policies including education,
climate, reproductive freedom, immigration, government administration and more.
âA lot of us were thinking about ways to make a difference,â said comics editor Scott #Dunbier (Act 4 Publishing, IDW).
Dunbier had previously worked with creators on a book to raise funds for Ukraine and saw the potential of comics to shed light on what he called a âheinous document.â
He connected with artist Steve #Lieber over Facebook, and eventually a collective of about 50 people began pitching in scripts, art, production and editorial services.
The list of contributors credited on the site includes best-selling and award-winning creators such as Andrew #Aydin (March),
Denys #Cowan (Milestone comics),
Matt #Fraction (Sex Criminals),
Lilah #Sturges (Lumberjanes, Fables)
and many others, including some who did not want to be listed
