Across the country tonight, those in need of accessible evidence-based reproductive healthcare can breathe a sigh of relief. We urge the Court to extend the stay again later this week, and we will continue to oppose attempts to ignore the law and science to deprive women of the healthcare they need.

One of the best things about our team @democracyforward.org? It’s powered by many moms. Another great thing? Our colleges who aren’t moms also fight for all our kids every day. Happy Mother’s Day.

Politicians undermining the will of the voters makes one thing abundantly clear: they are terrified of our power. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joins Alex Witt Reports to discuss this generational fight for voting rights and democracy.

Today’s unanimous ruling is another major victory for transparency and the rule of law. We at @democracyforward.org will continue fighting to ensure that the admin cannot operate these facilities in secrecy – especially as reports of overcrowding, abuse, and deaths in custody continue to grow.

While that is a nice sentiment to write from the comfort of the White House, the realities for mothers in the U.S. prove the admin's priorities do not lie with American families. The first Mother's Day was a protest movement, and we must continue that fight. More in my op-ed w/ @msmagazine.com:

President Trump would rather govern in the best interest of his personal pet projects than improve life for people in America. I joined @legalafmtn.bsky.social's Michael Popok to discuss how we’re challenging his illegal takeover of a D.C. public golf course for his own personal use.

Very excited to join @texasobserver.org tomorrow! Join us if you can — and support independent journalism!

Donald Trump wants to claim one of the only publicly accessible and affordable golf courses in D.C. for himself. We’re in court to keep this park open to all. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joins @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social to discuss.

Mifepristone saves lives. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @ms.now's The Weeknight to discuss the latest developments in Louisiana v. FDA.

Do not let anti-science and extreme attempts to rewrite history fool you. This attack on the FDA's approval of Mifepristone has no legal basis.

A good Monday morning: (1) SCOTUS just issued an admin stay of the Fifth Circuit’s order on mifepristone in response to weekend petitions from the manufacturers (2) East Potomac public park & course remain open for now after a federal court hearing this morning. We keep going @democracyforward.org

BREAKING: The Court has ordered the government to respond with answers at 7:30am — and there will be a status conference at 8am. Thank you team @democracyforward.org and co-counsel and clients!

BREAKING: Despite claiming otherwise to the court, the Trump-Vance admin seems to be moving toward shutting down DC’s largest public golf course for the president’s pet project. We're asking the court to act urgently to save this important public space from being another casualty of this president.

Emmett Till’s childhood was cut short when he was kidnapped & murdered by white supremacists in 1955. His legacy lives on today as we remember his story 🕯️. In or near #Montgomery, #Alabama? Visit the "Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See" exhibit at our #CivilRights Memorial Center.

My message on @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social this morning: we need to stay focused. Let the lawyers litigate over every outrage including this ballroom — and let’s all stay focused on voting, stepping up, speaking out.

CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social on @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social: This week's SCOTUS decision was an undeniable blow to voting rights in America. But the people still have the power to keep fighting for progress.

This is the extremists’ playbook in action: weaponize courts, ignore science, put women directly in harm’s way. SCOTUS’s emergency docket, increasingly misused to roll back rights in non-emergencies, may now be a last hope for women to make their own decisions about medical treatment.

This is excellent work by our team at @democracyforward.org — we will get to the bottom of this and protect free and fair elections.

The Supreme Court majority has dealt a blow to voting rights and, in so doing, to the American people. The path forward is clear: we must recommit to protecting and exercising our right to vote and to using our voices to oppose extreme power grabs that seek to subvert the voices of the people.

They said the quiet part out loud. Holding Trump accountable is up to us — and that's why we're fighting in court every day.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Trump can't sue the government to get the taxpayers to give him money. The courts are doing the right thing here.

Great to join @lincolnsquare.media’s The Revolution w/ Michael Fanone & Maya May to discuss a powerful student-led event at Baylor University that sent a message of faith and inclusion in response to TPUSA. Learn more about our Campus Coffee for Change here: https://democracyforward.org/campus/

"Decisions like this must be grounded in evidence, expertise, and the public interest, not politics, not pressure, and not personal grievances, and we intend to get to the bottom of what is happening here," said Skye Perryman, Democracy Forward president. baptistnews.com/article/inqu...

Join us!

I was in the room for the LGBTQ-inclusive ALL ARE NEIGHBORS event with an overflowing, standing room only crowd. It was so deeply inspiring!

Pleased to report the event went great, standing room only, press present - @hrc.org @interfaithalliance.org were🔥🔥 & students were inspiring…. meanwhile TPUSA event appeared to have um challenges, leading TPUSA to ban reporters & cameras? 🤔 keep going folks (and thanks again @democracyforward.org)

The TPUSA event at Baylor University has banned all media. But the "All Are Neighbors" event will be reported on. I urge you to watch, follow, and share.

The voices of ALL students should be heard. Great to join @underthedesknews.bsky.social and Amanda's Mild Takes to discuss the incredible work students at Baylor University are doing to send a message of love, not hate and counter TPUSA.

This follows an age-old playbook of trying to silence those fighting for justice. But we won’t be intimidated. We are in solidarity with @splcenter.org and will continue our work in support of all who fight against hate and discrimination.

The president’s executive order defies both the law and reality. This order is unlawful and would have disastrous consequences for workers doing the public’s business throughout the country and the people they serve. So we sued.

Change is possible. Grateful to these students and to Kelley and Paul. There should be a lot of love this week on the Brazos. www.hrc.org/press-releas...

Skye Perryman and Democracy Forward are some of the best. They're out there fighting for all of us. Please follow.

Time and time again, President Trump and his family have shown that they are not for the people; they are here to enrich themselves and the companies they serve. I joined MS Now’s @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social to discuss.

Announcing our MOLLYs special guest: Skye Perryman, President & CEO of @democracyforward.org and one of TIME’s 100 most influential people. Join us in Austin for a powerful night supporting independent journalism. 🎟️ Get your tickets now—link in bio.

“Americans United and Democracy Forward have since sought a preliminary injunction to prevent the publication of a commission report while their case is considered by a federal district court.”

The idea that federal officials would yank millions from an org caring for children due to the president’s self-inflicted messaging disagreement with the Pope should alarm anyone who believes in democracy, the rule of law, religious liberty, and government accountability. We will expose the truth.

The commission tasked with supporting our elections cannot operate in secrecy, especially in light of Trump-Vance admin efforts to undermine voting. Its failure to release records before 2026 elections raises questions about who's influencing decisions on our fundamental right to vote. So, we sued.

As Hungary’s elections reminded us this week, the voice of the people has power. That’s why we are suing to demand transparency in potential election interference – and why we will continue to fight for the American people to use their voice at the ballot box.

Congratulations to the unparalleled Dolores Huerta and @kicamatos.bsky.social for being named to this year’s @time.com 100 list! Their tenacity and unwavering commitment to our present and our future is inspiring. Courage is the new currency.

We all have a part to play in protecting our democracy. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @chewsviews.bsky.social to talk about the power of voting, electoral engagement, and community.

NEW: Democracy Forward sued the DOJ for allegedly failing to hand over records requests for exchanges between the department and election deniers. The request targets prominent figures and organizations in the anti-voting movement, including Kurt Olsen, Cleta Mitchell and True the Vote.

This ruling proves that litigation is working. Proud of our team at @democracyforward.org for their continued work to shed light on DOGE's misuse of data in court. The public deserves answers, and we will keep fighting until we get them.

Courts + People. Litigation works. Keep going. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Democracy needed a win — and the brave people of Hungary are showing us how it’s done. Courage is the new currency. Let’s go. www.reuters.com/world/hungar...

If you’re already thinking about what comes after Trump, you’re not alone. Skye Perryman is defending democracy now & thinking about how we restore it once we have that opportunity. Clear-eyed, grounded & worth your time: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Happy 96th birthday, Dolores Huerta! I am forever in awe of your strength, courage and dedication to the fight for justice for all people and communities.

This is proof that litigation works. Libraries and museums are pillars of our democracy; they expand opportunities, safeguard access to information, and strengthen communities. We are honored to protect the public infrastructure that keeps our communities informed, educated, and connected.

A growing number of President Trump’s supporters, fuming about the war in Iran, are sounding off in the replies to his posts on Truth Social, the social media platform he founded.

Pam Bondi or not – President Trump’s retribution agenda will continue to fail. I joined @zerlinamornings.bsky.social to discuss.
