We’re suing the Trump-Vance administration for threatening to conduct mass firings of federal employees if the government shuts down tonight.
Using people’s livelihoods as a bargaining chip is both cruel and illegal. That’s why we’ve joined forces with unions to protect these vital jobs.
On his first day as president, Donald Trump signed a slew of illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.
@DemocracyFwd CEO @SkyePerryman joins Marc Elias to discuss the lawsuits she and other pro-democracy groups filed to fight back.

Together with a broad coalition, we’re proud to be part of Civil Service Strong, a new public resource center that houses information to support the 2.2 million federal civil servants nationwide who work tirelessly to make our country stronger. Learn more. 👇
This will be a hard fight against long odds but never count the American people out. This past week’s government shut down defeat shows that it is incumbent on all of us to do our part and this is a far-right movement that can—and will—be checked by we, the people. @DemocracyFwd
2+ million federal civil servants live and work in every state in America. Together with organizations, lawyers, and unions, we created Civil Service Strong to ensure that federal workers can continue to deliver for the people.

This! 👇Kamala Harris is the Vice President of the United States and I’m so honored to be on a team - led by @SkyePerryman - that will correct this nonsense. 👏
Rep. Pat Fallon: "So whether or not you want to call [Kamala Harris] the border czar, the boss, the don, the Grand Poobah..."
@SkyePerryman: "Or the Vice President of the United States."
Thanks to @JoyAnnReid for sharing @DemocracyFwd’s People’s Guide to Project 2025. This plan is Moms for Liberty on steroids for public education, an existential threat to our democracy.
Thank you @JoyAnnReid for having us on to share our People's Guide to Project 2025 — and how plans in this harmful, far-right playbook hurt kids' educations across the country and erode democracy.

Project 2025 is Donald Trump's roadmap for a second presidency. Drastic changes Republicans would make to children's public school education, if Trump returns to the White House, are exposed by Joy Reid and her guests.

"We are ensuring that people and communities that would be affected by a range of policies that we see with respect to Project 2025 know their legal rights and remedies and are able to access legal representation, should that be necessary." -@SkyePerryman https://t.co/raqixTu6LR
The answers to @PattyMurray’s questions should be easy. Women should be able to receive all evidence-based care and medication. Extremists won’t say they support access to to contraception, FDA approved medication, or other care. Pay attention. Believe them. It’s all at risk.
We just sued to protect the freedom to read.
We filed on behalf of Prattville families & librarians challenging new library censorship policies that threaten to keep constitutionally protected books like To Kill a Mockingbird off public library shelves.
