Pragmatic, human-centered, data-driven solutions.

The Forward Party in California aspires to a new, futuristic kind of platform:

  • Collaboratively built from cutting-edge data and research
  • Includes proven policies with demonstrated impact where they have been adopted
  • Flexible and nuanced for communities to adapt to their own values and circumstances

Such an ambitious undertaking will take time, and we're excited to continue adding robust policy recommendations to our platform. Our immediate focus is on changing the game itself:

  • Grassroots Candidates
    More than 62% of state positions go uncontested. Let's challenge the status quo!

  • Campaign Finance Reform
    Big money interests dominate our elections. Here's how we can equalize access to the political arena.

  • Electoral Reform
    We're all tired of choosing the lesser evil. It’s past time to upgrade our electoral system.

 


Our Approach

The Forward Party in California's policy strategy centers on honesty, accountability, and positivity.

We aim to provide data- and research-driven recommendations to help solve our state’s greatest issues.

California is a vibrant and diverse place, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead of prescribing rigid policy mandates from the top down, the policy team at the Forward Party in California will:

  • Recommend state policy priorities and promising solutions
  • Provide commentary on meaningful legislation
  • Provide policy research and support to Forward candidates
