Forward Party Colorado
Website
https://www.forwardparty.comAbout the Colorado Forward Party It's time for a new kind of political party in Colorado. A party built by the people, for the people. A party that determines priorities and the metrics to track them, from the ground up. From the people up. A party that lets communities and candidates decide what is best for them instead of dictating policy from a national convention downward. A party to drive Colorado Forward. The Colorado Forward Party is currently not a recognized party in the State of Colorado. We are in the process of pursuing party status while also building a grassroots movement to drive change at all levels of Coloradan life: in our personal lives, in our communities, across our state, and throughout the nation. As we assemble this grassroots movement, made up of every type of Coloradan, our primary focus is listening. Recognizing that we don't have the answers and that the best way to find them is by listening to each and every one of you is a big part of what sets us apart from other parties in the state. The Colorado Forward Party is focused on three primary principles: Free People: Revitalize a culture that celebrates difference and individual choice, rejects hate, and removes barriers so that each of us can rise to our full potential. Thriving Communities: Reinvigorate a fair, flourishing economy and open society where everyone can live a good life and is safe in the places where we learn, work, and live. Vibrant Democracy: Reform our republic to give Americans more choices in elections, more confidence in a government that works, and more say in our future. We look forward to building this community, this movement, and this party with you. It will take each of us to transform our state, and we are so glad you are here. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns: colorado@forwardparty.com. Onwards, Joshua Herr, Curtis Harrison, David Ryan, and Rich Herrmann State Leads, Colorado Forward Party
