ICYMI: The Next Four Years Of The Supreme Court Will Be Decided Next Tuesday

Yesterday, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, as well as senior advisor to Demand Justice and member of our Moms for a Fair Court advisory board, Skye Perryman appeared on On The Issues with Michele Goodwin, a podcast with Ms. Magazine, to discuss what role the Supreme Court is playing in this election cycle and Demand Justice’s campaign to empower moms with the information they need to make the right choices for their families.

“Our country is at an inflection point. We’ve seen our Supreme Court is not functioning in a way that’s protecting the rights of people. That is a democracy issue,” Perryman says in the interview. She continues: “Earlier this year, I was pleased to be able to launch a campaign with many other wonderful women advocates and moms called Moms for a Fair Court that is mobilizing women across the country to understand that it’s not just about Dobbs, but it’s about our reproductive freedom in our communities that’s at stake up in this election.”

Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, we have seen people across the country activated in response to what they see as their rights getting rolled back. Poll after poll has shown that the majority of Americans disagree with the Court’s decision.

As Perryman goes on to say: “There is a disconnect between why Roe v. Wade was overturned, why our rights are going backwards at the hands of the Court, and what people can do. The bottom line is that our Constitution provides the tools we need and our elected representatives ensure that the courts work for all people… That is what Moms for a Fair Court is seeking to educate people on across the country.”
