  • THANK YOU for giving me hope as a Minnesotan struggling to process the world we live in right now.

    This was so refreshing to listen to. I hadn’t heard of the Forward Party before listening to this first episode of the podcast, and I am SO excited to hear more! I want to learn how we can make this party a truly valid option for voters…not just the best option nobody will vote for because they feel they can’t win. Let’s get people on board and make real change!! Truth. Strength. Bravery. Honesty. Commitment. Community. Respect. Love. I’m here for it!!
