This will be our 13th monthly
Pennsylvania Foward Call which is another way of saying it's our
one-year anniversary. While we are constantly looking forward, this is
a good time to look back at this first year and the organization we're
building.
As of the spring of 2022, our organization was more accurately
described as a list of about 500 Pennsylvanians who had been asked to
organize ourselves. With some direction from a small group of national
advisors, we started meeting supporters and got enough structure to
hold a statewide call July 11th, 2022.
The national organization founded by Andrew Yang soon merged with
two other organizations called Serve America Movement and Renew
America Movement. SAM and RAM brought many assets including some very
knowledgeable and talented active members here in PA. The press
generated by this merger also drove the most sign ups we've ever had.
There will actually be a national webinar
for the one-year anniversary of this merger that you can join on
July 27th.
In last November's general election, we were thrilled the National
Forward Party endorsed Ilya Breyman as a candidate for State
Representative in South Eastern PA. It was a great mission to build a
team around and we still reap benefits from those relationships
today.
This spring, we had our first State wide leadership
summit in Gettysburg. At this summit, we adopted bylaws and
formally installed a leadership team.
Then last month we had our Harrisburg
Rally. Several members of National Forward leadership came to town
to commemorate two sitting PA Senators committing to affiliate with
us. I hope you saw some coverage on our day in Harrisburg a few weeks
ago. We'd ask you to share something about it on your social media if
you haven't already.
So, this is where we are. Where we go from here is up to all of us.
We hope you'll join us on this statewide call and reach out to us if
you'd like to play more of a part. We have big plans that will take
everyone's help.
Forward PA as a movement is just getting on its feet, and all
of us have a role to play in guiding each step towards Free People,
Thriving Communities, and a Vibrant Democracy.
