Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times with Skye Perryman

Join us for a conversation with Skye Perryman, CEO of Democracy Forward and Chet Edwards, former Congressman, to discuss Perryman's new book "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times" and how the future of our country lies in all of our hands.

From protecting voting rights and public schools to finding courage in the face of fear, Perryman makes the case that defending democracy isn’t the job of lawyers or politicians alone—it’s a role for every one of us.

Drawing on her frontline experience challenging threats to democracy in courtrooms across the nation, Perryman combines gripping personal stories with practical “how-to” guides that empower people to take action in their own communities. Her insight shows that the path forward begins not in the halls of power but at our kitchen tables, in our neighborhoods, and through the everyday choices we make to speak up, build community, and protect our future.

Our hope is that each attendee will leave with a heart full of inspiration, new insight to take action, and an understanding that Together We Rise.

Skye's book will be available to purchase at the event. She will also be available to sign books following the discussion.
