Summary

The American Accountability Foundation, funded by the right-wing think tank behind Project 2025, has created blacklists targeting federal workers it deems “woke” and untrustworthy.

These lists, which include many people of color in government roles tied to diversity initiatives, aim to pressure the Trump administration to fire them.

Critics, including federal unions, call the effort an intimidation tactic.

While Trump distanced himself from Project 2025, his administration has hired key figures from it.
