Joy Reid’s MSNBC show, “The ReidOut,” launched in 2020 and quickly became a popular source of news and commentary for progressive viewers. In 2021, Reid announced “Project 2025,” an initiative to increase voter turnout and civic engagement among communities of color. The project is aimed at addressing the systemic barriers that have historically prevented these communities from fully participating in the political process.
“Project 2025” is a multi-faceted initiative that includes voter registration drives, civic education programs, and partnerships with community organizations. Reid has also used her platform on “The ReidOut” to highlight the importance of voting and to encourage viewers to get involved in the political process. The project has been praised by voting rights advocates and has been credited with helping to increase voter turnout in several key elections.
