Guarantee full participation in American life for every community
A government serves the country best when every person can navigate daily life—school, work, healthcare, public services—without arbitrary barriers. Yet for many Americans, that basic expectation is still not met. Recent national policies have removed critical support systems for marginalized communities, singling out Americans solely based on their identity. Allowing any group to be pushed to the margins weakens our national camaraderie, our economy, and our culture, while leaving entire communities with fewer opportunities to contribute to the collective good.
Protecting people’s ability to learn, work, thrive, raise families, and seek help when they need it is not cultural commentary; it is the core work of a functional democracy. Stable communities, strong educational systems, and a healthy workforce all depend on predictable, fair rules that apply to everyone. Rebuilding those conditions requires restoring long-standing protections, reversing targeted rollbacks, and ensuring that federal agencies do their jobs consistently and with respect for the dignity of the people they serve.
Project 2029 intends to strengthen that foundation through the following steps:
Restoring dedicated crisis-support services for young people who rely on the 988 Lifeline, reversing the cuts to the “Press 3” pathway, and reinstating a stand-alone program within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration focused on the needs of LGBTQ+ youth. This includes restoring at least $33 million in annual support, updating counselor training, and directing the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct proactive outreach so young people know help is available when they need it.
Reinstating federal protections that guarantee students a safe and respectful learning environment by restoring Executive Order 14021. This ensures that schools receiving federal funds uphold Title IX’s full protections against discrimination, harassment, and exclusion, allowing students to focus on learning rather than navigating hostility or uncertainty.
Restoring the federal framework advancing equal treatment for LGBTQI+ families and individuals by reinstating Executive Order 14075. This renews the federal government’s efforts to combat harmful practices like conversion therapy, improve health and well-being data, safeguard access to essential services, and support families whose legal recognition has become increasingly unstable.
Reestablishing the White House Gender Policy Council to support women by coordinating federal work on economic security, caregiving, workplace fairness, and protections against harassment and violence. Restoring this council brings consistency back to cross-agency efforts that help families, workers, and caregivers navigate the barriers that still limit opportunity.
Replacing the current blanket ban on transgender participation in sports with evidence-based athletic standards that ensure fair play while respecting the dignity of all athletes. Sport-specific, medically informed guidelines, rather than sweeping bans, allow schools and leagues to maintain competitive integrity in ways consistent with modern science and the role athletics play in youth development.
