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! forwardohio.com/volunteer/

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 announced the start of its petition drive to secure ballot access for the 2026 election cycle. This news comes in response to the defeat of Issue 1, a measure that would have created a new redistricting commission. Read more: independentpoliticalreport.com/2024/11/ohio...

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!

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

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. www.forwardparty.com/runforoffice/

The November Forward Ohio Newsletter is out. Important updates, how to get involved, and upcoming events and opportunities. We're building this party! open.substack.com/pub/forwardo...

In cities like Columbus and Cleveland, the Republicans barely exist. Across most of the state the Democrats barely count as opposition. The reality in most of Ohio is single-party-rule. The result is corruption, unaccountability, and incompetence. Forward will change that.

We're building a new political party in Ohio. Join us for our November statewide call on the 13th at 7pm. RSVP and add to your calendar! home.forwardparty.com/ohioforward/...

The Ohio Forward Party endorses 'Yes' on Issue 1. "We believe that every Ohioan deserves a voice in our democracy...They’re your districts. Take them back." Full Press Release below:

One week out from election day, it can sneak up on you. Living in a democracy, getting to vote to change your representatives, deciding the future of our country; it's an amazing thing.

Be your own October Surprise!

Democracy is and always will be in the hands of the people. We have the power and we have the responsibility and it's our decision to keep it and live up to it.

Politics is strange because "This is slightly better than what we have now and the alternatives available" gets translated to in campaigning "This is THE solution, it will solve EVERYTHING, and any criticism is a lie or a conspiracy!"

Forward Ohio members are voting right now on adopting our Priorities Platform! Voting ends tomorrow at midnight. Results announced at the state convention. Sign-up and cast your vote! forms.gle/QJnXvrR6VoaE...

There are no political saviors. Don't invest the power of a movement in one individual. We build this ourselves, from the ground up, founded in democracy.

We're pluralists. We contain multitudes.

You know what? We're going to try something different. Because trying the same things over and over, not really working out so well. New party, different approach.

Many problems in this country can be traced back to a lack of interest in local government and policy.

We want politicians to do what's right for the country but our current political system of campaign finance and partisan primaries tends to punish a whole lot more than it rewards good behavior. Congress has approval ratings in the teens. We know what's wrong. Let's fix it.
