Skye Perryman: Moving Democracy Forward One Case & Dinner Party at a Time

Champion for justice and distinguished litigator, Skye Perryman’s mission is to protect democracy.  President and CEO of Democracy Forward, Skye Perryman returned to Madam Policy to chat about her important work, including Democracy Forward’s celebration of its “Five Years of Impact,” with hosts Dee Martin and Yasmin Nelson. Skye was last on the pod before the United States Supreme Court issued its Dobbs opinion, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Not one to stand by quietly, Democracy Forward under Skye’s leadership, just this month filed a “first of its kind” lawsuit on behalf of GenBioPro, a maker of one of the two abortion drugs in the reproductive healthcare space. Skye also discussed the role the Dobbs decision played in 2022 midterm elections and the potential impact on the 2024 presidential race.
