Project 2029

Project 2029 is a project by liberal thinkers in the United States to draft an agenda for a potential Democratic president to use upon taking office on January 20, 2029. Named after the similar but conservative Project 2025, it is organized by Andrei Cherny and intends to produce a book from articles published over a two-year span in the journal Democracy.¹

At the beginning of February 2026, it was announced that Chad Maisel was leading the project.² Maisel was previously a special assistant to President Biden on the White House Domestic Policy Council as well as a policy advisor to Cory Booker.³

At the beginning of April 2026, there was a video focusing on the undoing of the actions of Donald Trump during his second and final term and the removal of his name, which then went viral. There was also a transcript from the video saying:

Today, January 21st, 2029, America takes out the trash. We restore the names of the Americans who actually earned them and we tear down the propaganda of a man who mistook power for greatness. We erase the vanity projects, melt down the monuments to his ego, and give back what always belonged to the American people. Welcome back. We reclaim our institutions, restore the dignity of the offices he disgraced, and scrub his name from every wall, every hole, every stone he defaced. America was never his. It was never for sale. It was never a brand. It is a republic. And today, we take it back… the restoration of the rule of law begins in… three, two, one.

Undo Trump is the proposed initiative claimed by organizers to be the restoration of the rule of law and the taking back of the United States from Trump. It is part of Project 2029.
