Adult Stars Take a Stand Against Project 2025

The adult entertainment world is fighting back against the GOP’s radical policy agenda threatening their industry and personal rights.

Project 2025, the Republican Party’s latest policy blueprint, has sent shockwaves through the adult entertainment industry. This nearly 1,000-page document, designed for the next Republican administration, outlines a roadmap that could fundamentally reshape America, starting with efforts to ban pornography. 

The plan, described as a “wish list” for Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House, aims to expand presidential power while criminalizing adult content. With endorsements from conservative groups like The Heritage Foundation, this proposal poses a direct threat to the adult industry and beyond.

In response, a group of adult entertainers has launched a bold campaign to fight back. They’ve raised $100,000 to fund advertisements in critical swing states, rallying under the slogan “Hands Off My Porn.” 

Their message is clear: Project 2025 is not only an attack on the adult industry but also a violation of privacy and free speech. Siri Dahl, an award-winning adult entertainer with over a decade in the business, is one of the campaign’s leading voices: 

 “I’ve seen an increasing number of political attacks on the adult industry. But Project 2025’s plan to make porn illegal, and throw all the pornographers in jail, is an egregious violation of your right to privacy – and not to mention, totally unconstitutional.”

Conservative Wet Dream or Free Speech Nightmare?

Project 2025 isn’t just a simple policy proposal—it’s a vision for an ultra-conservative America. This nearly 900-page plan lays out an aggressive agenda for the next Republican president, giving them sweeping power to push through an extreme social vision. The proposal tackles everything from education to immigration but puts a special focus on so-called “family values,” including a full-scale crackdown on adult content.

JD Vance, Republican vice presidential nominee senator from Ohio, has long championed the idea of banning pornography. In a 2021 interview with Crisis Magazine, Vance claimed that porn was responsible for America’s societal decline. 

“I think the combination of porn and abortion have basically created a lonely, isolated generation that isn’t getting married, they’re not having families, and they’re actually not even totally sure how to interact with each other.”

Fighting Back for Freedom

The “Hands Off My Porn” campaign is spearheaded by some of the biggest names in adult entertainment, and their strategy is clear: they’re taking the fight to the voters. The campaign’s website features educational resources about the constitutional rights at stake and encourages supporters to make their voices heard in the upcoming election.

Though Donald Trump has denied being directly involved in crafting Project 2025, his track record suggests that such policies could easily become part of his platform. If re-elected, the fear is that his administration might adopt this playbook to “stabilize” what conservatives see as moral and social decay. For many, this proposal is far more than a political move—it’s a dangerous overreach by the government. Cherie DeVille, another prominent voice in the adult industry, expressed her fears on the “Hands Off My Porn” website. 

 “I’m deeply concerned about how Project 2025 could impact not just our personal freedoms but also the rights of sex workers and the adult film industry as a whole.” 

Opposition Is Growing

As the 2024 election approaches, the adult industry isn’t backing down. Performers, activists, and even some of their fans are teaming up to ensure that their voices are heard. Some have compared Project 2025 to the anti-pornography campaigns of the 1980s, which sought to ban adult content on moral grounds. But in today’s digital age, the stakes are even higher.

The adult performers leading this charge are taking a bold step. They’re bringing the conversation directly to voters, warning them that a vote for certain Republican candidates could mean a future where adults can’t make or consume the content they want. For them, it’s about more than politics—it’s about preserving freedom and fighting back against what they see as government overreach.
