“As the Minority Inspector, I’ve had to turn away independent voters multiple times. Why? If someone is committed to our democracy enough to show up in an off-year primary where we get under 10% turnout, they deserve to have a voice.”

You'll notice that this meeting is much earlier than our usual monthly calls and that is for a very good reason. It's because at 7pm, we're all going to jump over to the Forward National End of Year call. You can register for that call below.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Forward Party End of Year Event. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

The Forward Party has been building a new home for independent voters and the exhausted majority who just wants their government to work. 2023 saw many successes, including the Party's first successful candidates. Mayors, state senators, and other offices are now held by members of the Party and its affiliates. As we head into the presidential election year of 2024, the Forward Party is working to have a large impact at the polls. Come hear from Party leaders, state teams, and Forwardists who are looking to serve their communities. We'll discuss what has been working and what our plan is for 2024. Come hear what you can do to move this country Forward in 2024, and to ask questions of members of the Board about the direction of the Party. Let's end the year strong, and then have an even stronger 2024.

Happy Bill of Rights Day!

On this day, we honor and celebrate the freedoms granted by the first ten amendments of our Constitution, that all began with three words: “We the People”

Our democracy is not guaranteed and must continually be fought for. #RepealClosedPrimaries
