Today, 12 SC Republicans chose integrity over partisan advantage and blocked a mid-cycle redistricting plan that was designed after voting had already begun. It would have eliminated the state's only majority-Black Congressional district, held by Rep. Jim Clyburn.

Growing trend of political independence? Primary system due for a change? Yes, please. @smerconish.bsky.social is on to something. www.cnn.com/audio/podcas...

This Memorial Day we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. May we carry their courage with humility and their sacrifice with gratitude. Let us also remember their families, who have lost so much to a high calling. Remembering. Honoring.

Don’t forget to check out the latest episode of our podcast! It just dropped this week, and it tackles some of the most critical questions our democracy faces. Thanks to @michaelsteele.bsky.social for joining!

Democracy doesn't build itself. But it also doesn't destroy itself. Large political parties, two specific ones actually, are doing this dirty work. Let's clean up our politics and do the proper work. www.forwardparty.com

The next episode of The Forward Party Podcast is live! In Episode 10, the conversation turns toward one of the biggest questions in American politics right now: Can independent leaders actually reshape Congress from the inside?

"Independent [and Forward endorsed!] gubernatorial candidate Rick Bennett submitted more than 5,000 signatures to the Maine Secretary of State’s Office Wednesday in his bid to appear on the November ballot alongside Republican and Democratic party nominees." mainemorningstar.com/briefs/indep...

No American, including a president or former president, should get special protection from scrutiny by the IRS or any other government agency. Rules should apply equally to everyone, regardless of power, wealth, or political party.

Becoming a minor party is a major deal. ICYMI. www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_n...

You ask us all the time what we think about various issues and what our vision for democracy is. We've been working for months on a podcast that gives you a deep dive into who we are and where this is all going. Check it out. www.forwardparty.com/podcast/

These aren’t the headlines of a democracy where the power rests with voters. Something’s broken. It’s time to fix it. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“People are calling my office to say they tried to vote for me, but they could not. ”Cassidy told reporters on a call Friday. “People are confused … It’s a terrible system for this election.” “It’s not an accident that voters are confused by this intentionally difficult process…”

We absolutely love calling new Forwardists to welcome them to the movement, and we think you would love it too! Want to dive in? If so, then this training is for you. Join Carrie Anne on May 18 to learn how to give our newest members a proper red carpet rollout--over the phone, of course.

"The Forward Party today announced its endorsement of independent gubernatorial candidate Ken Block, supporting a leader focused on accountability, competence, and delivering practical solutions for Rhode Islanders frustrated with a political system that too often prioritizes partisan interests..."

This is TONIGHT! Join us.

Many of our elected officials are called "representatives." What do they represent?

"Forward Party today announced its endorsement of Erin Petrey in Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District and Brian Varela in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, supporting two independent-minded leaders focused on solving problems, lowering costs, and bringing accountability back to Washington."

May the 4th be with you.

When you view two options negatively... And they're the only two options... You need more options. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

More states now calling special legislative sessions to give their elected officials a chance to choose new voters since they weren’t able to deliver results for their current voters. If you’re a voter looking to be chosen, there are two major parties happy to do that for you.

Are you worried about the exploding cost of living? So are we. And we'll have something to say on it today. Be sure to sign up for our weekly newsletter for more on it. www.forwardparty.com

How did we get to the place that undermining the will of the voters became the primary will of the politicians? That there is competition between these politicians as to who can undermine the will of the voters faster and more effectively? End gerrymandering by moving Forward.

Independent Redistricting Commissions

As you observe the vitriol and animosity between elected officials, just remember: It doesn't have to be that way. It could be this way: www.forwardparty.com/pledge/

High cost of living is now Americans' top financial concern. This isn't a sign that the system is delivering solutions.

Congratulations to @milwbjd.bsky.social, our April Volunteer of the Month! Brandon, newly the state chair of @texasforwardparty.bsky.social, rolls up his sleeves like a concerned parent.

Forward Executive Chair @KerryMHealey was recently on The Delve with Chalin Askew! They discuss what it actually looks like to govern from inside a broken system — and why she finally walked away from the Republican Party on January 7th.

Consumer sentiment is now at the lowest level ever recorded. Records you do NOT want to set… It’s time to build a system that solves problems. So we are. Share this and help us get the word out. www.forwardparty.com

Are you and your family better off today than you were a year ago? Explain in the comments.

"As political divides deepen, a new party eyes local change in Horry County" We don't want to spoil it for you, but... Okay, never mind. It's us! ☺️ We're building in many parts of the country. Here's an example! www.myrtlebeachonline.com/news/local/a...

"Why is the Oversight Committee a partisan committee?" "What are we actually doing to change the norms within the institutions?" Scandal after scandal. We need to be honest that the problem is the system itself. Lindsey was on @msnownews.bsky.social to discuss. youtu.be/V19VR3_zaQ8

We are disappointed Virginia voters approved a mid-decade redistricting change that moves the state away from the independent commission they chose just a few years ago. That system was designed to take map-drawing out of politicians’ hands and give voters a fairer, more transparent process.

Flip flopping which major party is in control isn't going to structurally fix what ails the system. Let's flop the whole thing by flipping the current system on its head. It's time for more options at the polls.

We have a couple of exciting events coming up this week! Reminder to keep an eye on our events page all the time. We're always working to add more! home.forwardparty.com/public_calen...

Candidate Outreach Training! How do we evaluate potential candidates? How can you help drive endorsements? Come learn the answers to these and many other questions this Wednesday! Let’s work together to find candidates committed to healthy democracy: fwd.party/cot422

The only reason the two major parties would need to choose new voters is that they weren't delivering for the voters they already had. #EndGerrymandering
