This is a seriously exciting development. On top of getting our first Utah State Senator, this merger positions the Forward Party as THE driving force in centrist politics in Utah!

What's your ideal political party? What's it stand for? How is it organized? Who is in it? How are decisions made, nominees selected?

Is your party identification based on your politics or is your politics based on your party identification?

There are people who want to simplify the world. To reduce everything. To make it all 2D or 1D. To flatten us. To make every person, every idea, fit into neat categories. That isn't the world we have, that's not the world we want.

Embrace depth.

Don't be flattened.

If we're going to overcome two entrenched parties and their backers, we'll need all the help we can get. This is a grassroots movement because when we work together we can change the world. Sign up to volunteer on our website!

We need to unite this country but understand that unity already exists. We are unified, we are united, when we stop and recognize that essential humanity within all of us. #HumanityFirst

The Ohio Forward Party Priorities Platform is now on our website!
The platform was approved by a vote of our membership leading up to our state convention in September.

Forward is a party Of, By, and For, YOU.

We're building from the ground up, with democracy and pluralism at our core. That's what a grassroots party looks like.

Tell your Forward friends!

Negative politics can trickle down and discourage us, beat us down, convince us to give up. But in that same way, positive politics can lift us up, show us that great things are possible, and it can inspire us to do good and be better.

Time for a politics that inspires.

If you want to do good, it means engaging with the world as it really is and not as we want or fear it to be.

There is no room for alternative facts or alternative reality.

What we have right now is government by sound bite or government by tweet (you decide which is worse). Our problems deserve a little more depth than that.

We had a great statewide call last night. Lots of new participants, new signups, and people who see we need a better path FORWARD!

Whoops, haven't used bluesky too much, we forgot our linktree! Added it to our bio just now, thanks for catching that. Here it is: linktr.ee/fwd_ohio

Join our statewide call tomorrow to learn about Forward and next steps to building the party in Ohio!

Ah, we'll make it one day.

Build the party you'd want to vote for.

There is always room for improvement.

Building a stronger country starts at the local level. Local elections are next year in Ohio, these can be the most impactful offices. The time to start thinking of running is Right Now.
