The Forward Party is a PAC that plans to grow its support and then petition the FEC for recognition as a political party when we fulfill the requirements, which include operating in several states, supporting candidates, getting volunteers signed up around the country, and other party activities.

Great - we’re excited to have you! No, you don’t need to change your party registration because at present that would likely disenfranchise you in various local elections.

To join the Forward Party, you can simply sign up for our email newsletter and consider yourself a Forwardist. Thanks for being here on the ground floor!

Our mission is to enliven our democracy – the U.S. is one of the only democracies in the world with a duopoly, and it’s clearly not working. The most straightforward way to include more perspectives is Ranked Choice Voting, which keeps any party from being described as a ‘spoiler’ because voters can state their preferences for a third-party candidate while still helping a preferred major party candidate defeat an opponent. At the end of the day, your vote is yours – no party has a right to it.

Also, due to the current electoral process, in the vast majority of races the Forward Party will be involved in, the candidate is likely to be running as a member of one of the major parties.

Fantastic! Sign up to volunteer and we will get you up and running! This is an opportunity to build the party we all know the country needs.

Yes, the Forward Party will support candidates for offices from the local to the national. If you are a candidate who agrees with the Forward Party’s Core Principles, you can apply for support.

We will support candidates running as Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and any other party who supports our goals, starting with Open Primaries and Ranked-Choice Voting.

Yes, we are planning to hold a national convention! We hope to be selecting delegates from volunteers and leaders in every state. So, if you volunteer, we might see you there!

Our goal is to organize millions of Americans who want a better future, starting with ballot initiatives to open up primaries. Your donations will go to staffing, infrastructure, events, marketing, and supporting aligned candidates. Most importantly, even giving $5 is a sign that you support this new movement to fix our broken political incentives. We hope you make a donation today!

We will support a number of candidates in local and statewide races to help them win, and we will support ballot initiatives and campaigns that lead to open primaries and ranked choice voting in states around the country. We hope to have some real victories in 2022 – help us make them happen by donating today!

It’s too soon to tell, but if there is demand for a third party candidate, the Forward Party may look to address it. The Forward Party may hold its own primary process to nominate a candidate.

Yes it does! Head to our Merch store to support our work in style!
