LITIGATION COALITION FORMING TO CONFRONT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICIES
https://thefederalnewswire.com/stories/665892188-litigation-coalition-forming-to-confront-trump-administration-policies
A coalition of over 280 organizations has announced what it says is a multimillion-dollar legal initiative to challenge policies from the incoming Trump administration. The coalition, "Democracy 2025,” includes legal, advocacy, and policy groups to "disrupt far-right attacks on the American people," according to its website.
According to a press release by the coalition, Democracy 2025 is spearheaded by Democracy Forward, a legal advocacy organization to promote "transparent and accountable governance.” The coalition says more than 800 individuals are involved, including "litigators, strategists, advocates, academics, policy experts, and faith leaders."
In the press release, the coalition said it formed to oppose policy proposals outlined in Project 2025 and other plans that may be considered by the incoming administration. Democracy 2025 says it has identified 221 "high-priority threats” relating to democratic institutions, reproductive rights and access to health care, labor protections, discrimination, public education, environmental protections, immigrant communities, and national security.
The coalition lists the following organizations as members on its website:
Brennan Center for Justice at the NYU School of Law
