This week, we’re sending you a note from Joel Searby, Forward’s Managing Director of Communities and Building. In his role, Joel manages the team overseeing the organization and empowerment of state parties and leaders. Joel joined Forward from the Renew America Movement and holds the *unofficial* distinction of losing the most independent campaigns in modern U.S. history. We’re excited for him to share with you his passion for building this movement.

Peter,

Building a new, viable, credible, durable political party is something not seen in our country in over a century. But beyond that, we’re trying to create a new kind of political party – one that is built in our communities, not in the backrooms of a DC consultant’s office; one that celebrates diverse perspectives and doesn’t believe in rigid loyalty to the party; one that champions a thriving democracy that gives power back to We the People, not a closed system designed to maintain the status quo.

In short, what you and I are looking to accomplish is truly transformative, Peter.

But how do we do the work of actually building this movement? It’s a 50-state effort powered by you. With your support, we’re:

• Collect signatures to gain party status in Colorado and Utah
• Register voters in Maine to gain party status
• Holding Executive Committee elections in Florida and Texas
• Host in-person state leadership strategy sessions in South Carolina, Maryland, and Illinois

Growing this movement and building on this momentum takes a lot of time, energy, and resources. We’re excited about the challenge, and we know you are, too. We’re humbly asking for you to give to our movement in any way you can.

• If you can give your time, please sign up to volunteer.
• If you can afford it, please give $20 right now to help our outreach and party-building efforts.

Building our party is a marathon, not a sprint. I know I speak for everyone at Forward when I say we are grateful and humbled to have you with us for the long haul. Together, we’re moving our country Forward.

Best,

Joel Searby
Managing Director, Communities and Building
