Georgia Democrats are joining their national colleagues in sounding the alarm about an influential conservative think tank’s presidential transition plan called Project 2025. 

The plan stirring controversy is a dense 922-page policy agenda from the Heritage Foundation that calls for overhauling government agencies, passing the most stringent abortion ban the next Republican administration can get through Congress and lowering the corporate tax rate, among other major changes. 

The Heritage Foundation promoted the platform Tuesday near the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
