This Sunday, Paul George will join us in Los Altos to open the session and to answer any questions afterward. Mr. George, the Executive Director of the Peninsula Peace and Justice Center, will introduce a 37-minute video in which he describes the 2025 Project.
Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a collection of right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation and other conservative think tanks, that would reshape the federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 presidential election. It relies on the unitary executive theory, a disputed interpretation of Article II of the U.S. Constitution that asserts that the president has absolute power over the executive branch upon inauguration. The project is a how-to program that would change the nature of our democracy almost overnight. It would allow the president replace federal employees with project loyalists and institute a “conservative” policy in every department of the federal government.
Peninsula Peace and Justice Center has long been regarded as the leading grassroots activist organization on the San Francisco Peninsula, due in large part to the leadership of Paul George. Paul started work at PPJC in April 1989.

This Sunday, you can attend our forum in person with fellow humanists in the Orchard Room at the Los Altos Library, 13 S. San Antonio Road, Los Altos, CA 94022. (On the first and third Sunday of the month, you can continue to attend our forum at the Mountain View Senior Center.)
Since we can’t bring food into the library, let’s plan on meeting at the small park with picnic tables just adjacent to the library. We did this last time, and it worked out fine.
We could either bring our sandwiches or other lunch edibles or take orders and have folks order their own sandwiches or other edibles and send someone out to pick them up. This would allow us to meet right after the meeting, stay for a bit and connect.
If you can join us in person, please email vp@humanists.org to help us make sure we have room for you. COVID protocols will be followed. If you have symptoms that may be COVID, kindly attend on Zoom.
