Fairview Satellite Event: Beyond the Headlines: Understanding Project 2025

July 22nd,2024 | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Professor/Instructor/Speaker: Ben  SpeggenM.A.

Established in 2022 and published in 2023 by the Heritage Foundation, "Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise," otherwise known as Project 2025, is garnering more and more attention in media today. Its architects argue that "it is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration." What ideas and strategy are contained in the some-900-page document? Who are the architects behind it? What are the four pillars upon which they propose to build their agenda? 

Location: Lincoln Community Center Library – 1255 Manchester Road, Erie, PA 16505

Date/Time: Monday, July 22, 6-7:30PM

Admission: FREE
