Project Blitz is a coordinated effort by Christian Nationalists to shape state law using a distorted definition of “religious freedom” to undermine LGBTQ equality, attack access to reproductive healthcare, and push a false narrative that the United States was founded as a Christian nation.
So far this year, more than 75 Project Blitz-related bills—including measures that attack LGBTQ people, undermine access to reproductive healthcare, and attempt to inject religion into public schools—were introduced in state legislatures across the nation.

Project Blitz in the Media
Since launching BlitzWatch last year, more media outlets are exposing the work of Project Blitz and its supporters. State legislation attacking civil rights protections for LGBTQ people, access to reproductive healthcare, and public education is part of a coordinated campaign by Project Blitz-aligned advocacy groups and should be covered as such.
Featured News & Commentary
Frederick Clarkson, a senior research analyst at Political Research Associates, has unearthed the playbooks Project Blitz has used since going dark, and discussed their implications with Salon in an exclusive interview.
The Project Blitz playbooks for the state legislative sessions of 2019-2020 and 2020-21 remained hidden—until now.
Many of the bills on The Christian Right’s agenda are making news; some have passed key legislative committees or whole state legislative chambers, and some have already been signed into law. But what reporters, activists, and most legislators don’t realize is that many of these bills draw from an unusual package of 20 model bills included in a report assembled by a coalition of Christian Right groups for an initiative they call “Project Blitz.”
