Washington, DC — Today, Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, joined MSNBC’s The Weekend to discuss the critical work being done to protect the rights of the American people from the Elon Musk-led so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the broader attempts to undermine freedom and prosperity.

In conversation with Symone D. Sanders, Michael Steel, Alicia Menendez, and Politico’s Ankush Khardori, Perryman highlighted the ways in which Democracy Forward and our partners have taken up on the front lines of defending people and our democracy. The stakes for all people, whether in red or blue states, could not be higher.

“We want people to know that there are lawyers and there are people working day and night. People were wondering where the pushback is, well, you are seeing it in the courts. We have seen people and communities show up.. We are seeing large organizations.. and small-community-based organizations all aligning together, getting into court and making a real difference for people. That difference is important, but is going to take a continued effort in the court as well as a continued effort by people and communities and, Congress, to stop this runaway Executive Branch,” said Perryman.
