You’ve undoubtedly heard about Project 2025. It’s a well-funded effort by the Heritage Foundation and 100+ partner organizations to attack overtime pay and student loan programs, dismantle the social safety net, decimate reproductive rights, undermine our economy and reshape the way our society operates. It would roll back civil rights protections on multiple fronts, eliminating DEI programs and slashing LGBTQ+ rights in health care, education, and workplaces.

To combat the threats posed by Project 2025, we need to understand them. Join us for a broad overview, a deeper dive into some of the platforms and a resource list of materials to help you continue your education in the vital work of protecting our democracy and citizens. 

Speaker: Kirill Kondratyuk 

Kirill Kondratyuk is a 10th-grade student with a unique international background. Born in Crimea, Ukraine in 2009, his life took an unexpected turn in 2014 when Russia occupied his homeland. His family made the difficult decision to leave everything behind and relocate to the United States.

After completing first grade in Crimea, Kondratyuk arrived in the US in 2016. Since then, he has embraced his new life and education in America, while never forgetting his roots. His journey has sparked a deep passion for history, geography, and political science. These subjects aren't just academic interests for him– they're intimately connected to his personal experiences and the global events that have shaped his life. Kondratyuk is committed to using his voice and experiences to contribute to positive change and he looks forward to this opportunity that will allow him to engage with important social and political issues, combining his personal background with his academic interests.
