Easy A: meaningful actions in five minutes or less

Do This: Name your 2026 Priority

Jan 22, 2026 | Easy A, Project 2025

"I love the idea of everybody just doing whatever they can do, whatever that looks like." Heather Cox Richardson

The Heritage Foundation is the extremist architect of Project 2025, and they’ve made their priorities known for 2026. They’ve given us a glimpse at what harmful policies they want the Trump administration to enact this year, so now it’s time to set your priorities, too.

Your easy action is simple – and highly personal – this week: identify which issue concerns and moves you to action the most.

Here’s some tips on how to do that:

Take a minute to reflect on what you read about Project 2026 two weeks ago.
Give our Project 2025 Tracker a quick scroll.
Pay attention to what made your heart sink or felt like a gut punch – what gave you the strongest reaction when you learned about it, like we discussed on the RWB podcast recently?

Identify the most important area for you to personally make a difference this year, and then let us know below. We’ll be sure to let you know when there are future easy actions to take in your area of interest.
