Skye Perryman and her progressive coalition are preparing to fight in court and in the public square against Project 2025 and other foes

Summary

Skye Perryman, CEO of Democracy Forward, leads Democracy 2025, a coalition of legal and advocacy groups opposing Donald Trump’s far-right “Project 2025,” backed by the Heritage Foundation.

The coalition aims to provide swift legal defenses against threats to democracy, drawing on lessons from Trump’s first term, which saw over 100 lawsuits challenging his administration’s policies.

Despite Republicans regaining control of the presidency and Congress, Perryman emphasizes public legal action, civic engagement, and court challenges as critical tools to counter extremist proposals and protect democratic institutions.
