Democracy Forward (DF) is a left-of-center litigation and advocacy nonprofit created in early 2017 by high-level Democratic Party operatives. The organization has been aggressive in targeting the Trump administration.1 Examples include an ethics complaint against Ivanka Trump, alleging she was illegally promoting her clothing apparel line by wearing its products at official government functions,2 and a lawsuit claiming the Trump administration was violating the U.S. Constitution by cutting the ObamaCare (also known as the Affordable Care Act) advertising budget and permitting the sale of additional health coverage plans.3

The DF board is chaired by Marc Elias, general counsel for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and head of the political law practice at Perkins Coie that represents almost all of the nation’s most powerful Democratic Party and left-leaning political advocacy organizations.4

Mainstream media accounts of DF’s campaigns in publications such as Newsweek5 , the Washington Post6, and the Chicago Sun-Times7 frequently fail to note the partisan agenda of DF, often neutrally identifying it as a nonprofit “watchdog” organization.

Democracy Forward Foundation (DFF) is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit counterpart of the 501(c)(4) advocacy group Democracy Forward. The two organizations appear to share the same website, board and employees. As of late 2018 the DF website showed 27 employees, including a ten-lawyer legal team.1

Background

Both Democracy Forward (DF) and the Democracy Forward Foundation (DFF) were incorporated in March 2017 by Perkins Coie political law practice attorney Katherine LaBeau.8 The groups share a website which had the following disclaimer as of December 2024: “This is the website of Democracy Forward Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, and Democracy Forward, a 501(c)(4) organization.”9

Sources of funding and funding levels were not known as of late 2018, when the website showed 27 employees, including a ten-lawyer legal team.1 A November 2017 report in the Washington Free Beacon explained the creation of the two organizations and the intended mission of weaponizing the use of litigation against federal agencies to tie up the Trump administration and its agenda. While providing no conclusive evidence of the source of funding, the report referenced “confidential documents” obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, relating to a January 2017 meeting at a “posh resort” with “liberal mega-donors” at which Hillary Clinton operative David Brock proposed a partisan litigation strategy for another organization that was strikingly similar to that which became DF andthe DFF.8

The plan that was reportedly distributed at the Brock meeting to more than 100 donors proposed a doubling of the $5.8 million budget for the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), so that the left-wing organization could expand its staff to 38 employees and hire an “army of pro bono lawyers” to produce a “steady stream of open records requests” and lawsuits against Trump, his administration and his family, as the means to “keep constant attention on Trump’s unprecedented conflicts of interest.” Distributed within days of the new president taking office, The 49-page document expressed the goal of defeating him in 2020 or “through impeachment” before that.10

As of June 2024, according to the New York Times and National Review, DF claims to have prepared drafting potential lawsuits against a potential 2nd Trump Term as well as finding plaintiffs with legal standing in court. According to the group’s head Skye Perryman, “We are ensuring that people and communities that would be affected by a range of policies…know their legal rights and remedies and are able to access legal representation, should that be necessary.” 11

In 2024, Democracy Forward launched a project titled “The People’s Guide to the 2024-2025 U.S. Supreme Court Term” claiming to track Supreme Court decisions made between 2024 and 2025 and explain the results and outcomes “in language you don’t need a law degree to understand.” 12

Democracy 2025

By July 2024, the Democracy Forward had a section on its website titled “The People’s Guide to Project 2025” which affirms itself as a guide on Project 2025, a policy agenda laid out by the conservative Heritage Foundation that it claims is a far-right effort to “enable a future anti-democratic presidential administration.”  13 14 The page also contains sections it claims break down the Project’s “Mandate for Leadership” goals, which it further claims was created through the Heritage Foundation as well as former Trump Administration officials and roughly 100 other organizations, to implement, “a radical vision for our nation and a roadmap to implement it.” 13 The guide further mentions what it claims are Project policies impacting areas Medicare, abortion access, education, immigration, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts. 13

The “People’s Guide to Project 2025” section came to be absorbed by Democracy 2025, an official project fiscally sponsored by Democracy Forward and Democracy Forward Foundation. Founded in 2022, Democracy 2025 was created to develop and produce research reports and legal strategies that push back against policies both organizations consider to be “threats to our democracy.” In addition, Democracy 2025 acts as a coalition group including more than 280 organizations and 800 active individual participants. 15

According to its website, Democracy 2025 claims to have produced a “multimillion-dollar war chest” meant to “counter harmful, illegal, anti-democratic actions from the Trump-Vance administration.”  15 The project also organizes action against the Heritage Foundation-led Project 2025. 15 The project has also created a “Threat Matrix” of 221 policy issues to address and counter in regard to future policy from the second Trump administration. 16

In September 2024, the project released a report which claimed “far-right extremists” were already enacting “unpopular proposals” as according to Project 2025. Several examples it listed included Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R) signing the “Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) pushing state-level border policies, and Missouri Governor Mike Parson (R) signing the “Second Amendment Preservation Act” into law. 17

In October 2024, the project released a fact sheet regarding Project 2025 what it claims is the project’s aim to “target immigrants and expand executive power.”  18 The document also claims to highlight specific immigration policies that will be impacted such as changes to asylum protection law, changing migrants’ legal status, using the Insurrection Act to enforce immigration laws, using the Alien Enemies Act to deport minors, and allegedly reinstating the “Muslim Ban.” 18

As of November 2024, Democracy 2025 member organizations included: Accountable.US, the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), American Oversight, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Brennan Center for Justice, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), Demand Justice, Lambda Legal, National Education Association (NEA), National Employment Law Project (NELP), National Health Law Program, National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), Public Citizen, Public Rights Project (PRP), State Democracy Defenders Action, Student Borrower Protection Center (SBPC), Alliance for Justice (AFJ), American Atheists, Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, Bend the Arc Jewish Action, Center for Gender and Refugee Studies, Center for Media and Democracy (CMD), Center for Progressive Reform, Civic Engagement Beyond Voting (CEBV), Constitutional Accountability Center (CAC), the Council for Global Equality, Courage for America, Court Accountability, Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action, Detention Watch Network (DWN), Education Law Center (ELC), Educators for Excellence, Equal Rights Advocate, Equality California, Fair Wisconsin, Faith Commons, GenDemocracy, Honesty for Ohio Education, Human Rights First, Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), Interfaith Alliance, International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), Just Solutions, Lawyers for Good Government, Movement Advancement Project (MAP), Muslim Advocates, National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC), National Center for Law and Economic Justice (NCLEJ), National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), National Immigration Law Center, National Immigration Litigation Alliance, National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, National LGBTQ Task Force Action Fund, National Partnership for Women & Families (NPWF), People for the American Way (PFAW) Foundation, Public Counsel, Public Funds Public Schools, Red Wine and Blue, Revolving Door Project, RISE Economy, Rural Progress, Silver State Equality, Southern Border Communities Coalition (SBCC), the Advocates for Human Rights, the Lawyering Project (TLP), Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), and Vera Institute of Justice (VIJ). 15

Leadership

By 2018, of the board members and four of the five executive staffers at Democracy Forward were strongly allied with partisan Democratic Party and left-wing advocacy organizations, most notably the Center for American Progress, a think tank closely associated with the Democratic Party establishment.19
Board of Directors

Board of Directors

Marc Elias is the chair of the board. He was general counsel for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and is a partner and head of the political law practice at the law firm Perkins Coie LLP. He assists Democratic political committees and other left-of-center clients, which include the Democratic Governors Association, Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), House Majority PAC, Senate Majority PAC, Priorities USA (PAC), and EMILY’s List.4

Former board members include John Podesta, the chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, and co-founder of the left-wing think tank Center for American Progress; Scott Nathan, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a former staffer in several positions in the Obama administration; 26 Matthew Miller, the spokesman for former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and a former communications director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC); 27 Faiz Shakir, the national political director for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a former senior adviser to former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and the former editor-in-chief of ThinkProgress.org—a left-wing website created by the Center for American Progress’s lobbying arm, CAP Action Fund; 28 and Maya Harris, a policy adviser for Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 Presidential campaign and the sister of Vice President Kamala Harris. 29

Executive Staff

Skye Perryman is the president and CEO of Democracy Forward, having held the position since January 2021. Perryman previously worked as the chief legal officer and general counsel of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and was formerly a litigator for Democracy Forward. As of December 2024, she sat on the boards of Atlas Performing Arts Center, the Interfaith Alliance, the Baylor Line Foundation, and the Texas Observer. 30

Anne Harkavy was the previous executive director of Democracy Forward. She had been a legal counsel to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and former U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-MA).31 1

Adam Jentleson was the previous public affairs director for Democracy Foward. 32 He was twice an employee of the Center for American Progress, most recently as a senior strategic adviser in the “war room” established by the Center for American Progress Action Fund in early 2017 to slow down and block confirmation of Trump administration appointees. He also worked for former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada).33

Corey Ciorciari was the previous policy and strategy director of Democracy Forward. Corey worked on the 2008 presidential campaign of then-U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, and was a policy adviser to the 2016 presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.34

Alex Hornbrook was the group’s previous operations director, and also held operations and scheduling positions for Vice President Joe Biden, the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and the 2008 Obama/Biden presidential election campaign.35

Litigation and Advocacy

Since its creation in early 2017, Democracy Forward filed numerous lawsuits against the first Trump Administration including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the president’s Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Department of Defense. In addition, DF has filed official complaints and engaged in advocacy campaigns against many of these same targets and others. Most of these campaigns follow a pattern of impeding a Trump administration policy agenda or implying corrupt behavior by the president, his family or officials appointed by him.8

Obamacare Lawsuits

In August 2018, Democracy Forward filed a lawsuit alleging that President Trump was sabotaging Obamacare and violating the “Take Care” clause of the U.S. Constitution by cutting back on advertising of Obamacare and tightening the enrollment period. The suit was filed on behalf of the cities of Columbus, Ohio, Baltimore, Maryland, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois.3

A DF news release accused the Trump administration of “raising prices” and “eliminating choices” in the health care insurance market.3 The lawsuit references an executive order that allows individuals more options to purchase low-cost plans that are not required to comply with all of the regulations imposed by Obamacare. The DF complaint notes that competition from lower cost insurance products will “lead to decreased enrollments” in the Obamacare plans.36

Immigration Policy

In November 2018, the city of Baltimore, Maryland, with assistance from DF, filed suit seeking to reverse a Trump administration policy that expands the definition of “public charge” as it applies to immigrants seeking U.S. visas and citizenship. A federal law predating the Trump administration denies visas and citizenship to applicants who are deemed to be too reliant on government welfare services and not self-sufficient. Among other changes, the Trump administration’s new interpretation of the law would allow the government to count participation in a Head Start program by the schoolchildren of an immigrant family as grounds for disqualification.37

In 2024, Democracy Forward released a report on a lawsuit filed by fifteen states led by Kansas against a rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that would allow DACA recipients to enroll in Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) health insurance plans. It advocated for illegal immigrants to receive coverage from said insurance. 38

Private Prison FOIA

In December 2018, DF announced it had used a Freedom of Information Act request to reveal the contents of an email exchange between a private prison contractor and high-level U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials regarding the state of California’s passage of a so-called sanctuary city law in 2017. The prison contractor offered legal opinions to ICE regarding the law which later formed part of the basis for an ICE memo advising then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to file suit against a California law prohibiting local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration authorities. A DF spokeswoman accused the prison contractor of gaining “privileged access and opportunities for input on important public policy decisions from which it stands to profit,” citing the contractor’s prior work detaining inmates for ICE, and the combined $475,000 it had donated to the Trump inaugural and a Trump-affiliated super-PAC.39

Department of Veterans Affairs

In October 2018, DF and Democratic-aligned veterans’ advocacy group Vote Vets sued the Trump administration, demanding compliance with a freedom of information request they had filed regarding informal discussions the president had convened with three members of his Mar-a-Lago resort, allegedly regarding ideas to reform the management and policies of the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA). Federal employees from the VA were reportedly brought to the resort to meet with the three informal advisers, which included Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter, a Palm Beach concierge doctor, and a lawyer. A news release from DF and Vote Vets asserted the president and his “golf buddies” were “trying to hide” information about the group’s influence over policy, which they said “hurts all veterans,” but did not elaborate regarding a specific harm to veterans or any corrupt benefit to the group that may have ensued.40

Ivanka Trump

Ivanka Trump, President Trump’s daughter and a White House adviser in the first Trump Administration, was the target of at least two advocacy campaigns from Democracy Forward. In January of 2018, DF issued a statement saying it was “demanding” that the U.S. Office of Government Ethics investigate whether Ms. Trump “is coordinating w/ fashion blogs to use her public office to advertise her clothing line (that she still profits from).” Ms. Trump had worn her apparel business’ products to official events, and a Wall Street Journal investigation had tabulated that the president was wearing her company’s apparel in 46 of 68 recent social media photos posted by his daughter. In an emailed response, Ivanka Trump replied that she would have stayed working in New York City – and out of the political spotlight – if making more money on the clothing line had been her objective.2

Then in August 2018, tying together and interpreting several internal messages obtained through a freedom of information request, DF accused Ivanka Trump of influencing a decision by the Trump administration to retract the so-called “equal pay transparency rule” – a regulation enacted during the Obama administration that required employers with more than 100 employees to submit information regarding the wages and gender of staffers. The emails obtained by DF reveal Ivanka Trump’s chief of staff attended official meetings regarding the issue, but – with many redactions obscuring content – do not demonstrate the specific advice provided, nor that Ivanka Trump personally attended the meetings. After a decision had been made to kill the regulation, Ivanka Trump provided a press statement pledging support for the equal pay concept, but stating the specific rule had not been an effective vehicle to achieve the goal. (Employers had complained the new rule was needlessly costly). A DF spokeswoman accused Ivanka Trump of hypocrisy, but no legal wrongdoing was alleged.41
