Demand Justice aims to take on a network of far-right groups that have helped reshape the high court.
Demand Justice, a progressive judicial advocacy group, is mounting a major effort to advocate for Supreme Court reforms and prepare for the effects a second Trump administration could have on the judiciary.
“Our democracy is in an absolute crisis, and the Supreme Court majority is accelerating it,” said Skye Perryman, Demand Justice’s new senior adviser. She is president and chief executive of Democracy Forward, a separate outfit that has positioned itself as an adversary to the judicial advocacy network that is litigating cases seeking to overturn major precedents.
Demand Justice has led an unsuccessful push to expand the Supreme Court since its founding in 2016, which was prompted by the Republican-led Senate effectively blocking then-President Barack Obama’s high court nominee, Merrick Garland. The group largely went silent after the September departure of its previous executive director, Brian Fallon.
