Kelly Percival is counsel for the Brennan Center where she fights for a fair and accurate decennial census and equal representation in American democracy. She has long advocated for reproductive justice, including campaigning for contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act and suing the Trump administration over discriminatory rules that denied women access to birth control. She has briefed the Supreme Court on the need to curtail religious exemptions from generally applicable civil rights laws in order to promote religious freedom for all.
