Forward Party New York

Independent voters are the fastest-growing group in the country. Shutting them out doesn’t protect elections—it weakens them.

Virginia votes soon on letting politicians redraw their own maps, but gerrymandering affects us right here in New York too. Forward Party believes the rules of democracy shouldn't be rewritten by the people who benefit from them. #ForwardPartyNY #Gerrymandering #ElectionReform

For our Town Hall this month on Monday 3/16, we’ll be joined by Carrie Anne Templeton, @Fwd_Party's Head of Volunteer Programs, who will share new ways to get involved, help grow the party, and participate in an upcoming party-wide challenge. Link in bio to RSVP.

You don't want to miss this timely event! "Forward Voices: ICE & Rule of Law" This discussion centers on Forward’s core value of Rule of Law and examines recent cases in which American citizens have been unlawfully detained or deported by ICE, raising serious concerns about due process, accountability, and government overreach. The conversation will focus on what the Rule of Law means in practice: holding government agencies accountable, while also respecting and enforcing immigration law in a lawful, transparent, and constitutional manner rooted in human dignity.

Ideas, disagreement, and a challenge to rethink American democracy. Last night, @Sen_JoeManchin, @AndrewYang, and @justinamash took our stage with moderator @MaraLiasson to examine whether the two-party system is still serving the country, and what might come next. #rvaforum

The 2026 midterms start next week. A wave of congressional retirements has created crowded primaries across the US. Some will be won w/ less than 50% of the vote. Others will go to costly runoffs. Ranked choice voting would make these primaries better ⬇️ fairvote.org/what-to-watch-…

If you're in NYC, join us at our monthly happy hour tonight at 7pm. We're bringing together various like-minded organizations: Forward Party, Unite NY, Braver Angels, Sortition NYC, & No Labels! Link in bio. See you there.

It’s clear where this is headed and it isn’t good for most Americans. Too many politicians are choosing Big Tech campaign donations over protecting workers and stopping even more wealth from being funneled to the top 1%.

Elections should not be nationalized. Read our official statement.

Forward New York's February town hall is on 2/3 and NYC's happy hour is on 2/10. Links in bio to RSVP. All are welcome - see you there! #forwardny #forwardparty #thirdparty

OFFICIAL STATEMENT on Minnesota, ICE, dangerous overreach--and resulting tragedies.

A record 45% of U.S. adults now identify as political independents, the highest Gallup has measured. If you’re a new or long-time independent, come join us at Forward NY. We’re not just building another party; we’re fixing the systems that locked in the two-party status quo.

As the DOJ ramps up what appear to be increasingly politically-motivated investigations, some elected officials are beginning to have enough. As independent voices speak out, members of Congress retire, and opposition grows, we're witnessing the increasing power of the independent voices of reason. @wd_lindsey was on @MSNOWNews to discuss. youtu.be/qhcwF6HG-zY

Congratulations to Laura Donovan, who was officially sworn in this weekend as Ulster County Legislator. A NY Forward affiliate and a clear example of what’s possible when we support leaders focused on solutions at the local level. #ForwardNY #UlsterCounty

It’s a privilege to swear in two new Ulster County Legislators today in Marlborough Town Hall. Dominick Marino and Laura Donovan are coming to the legislature with a great deal of experience and knowledge of critical community issues. They will be strong voices for the people of Ulster Co.
