Hi there,
In the last few months, many of us have experienced feelings of disillusionment and frustration in our political system—and in spite of that, this community has continued to show up. Vote Forward volunteers adopted over 250,000 letters to Wisconsin voters in our first campaign of 2025. We are so encouraged by those results, and hope you are, too.
Giving you strategic ways to use your time and effort is something we take seriously, and we understand that the moment we’re in demands more from us—this is not “business as usual.” To meet this moment, we know we need to reach beyond what we’ve done in the past, and find ways to be even more ambitious, creative, and effective.
We’d love for you to be part of the process as we develop our thinking about what comes next for Vote Forward by completing this short survey.
Let us know more about what motivates you to take action, and share anything you want us to consider as we plan Vote Forward’s future. Your responses will help us tell the story of our letter writing community more widely, and more importantly, they will help ensure that volunteer perspectives inform Vote Forward’s plans for 2025 and beyond.
Data sets from our 2024 campaigns are arriving, and analysis of the results is underway, putting us on track to share Vote Forward’s impact in late spring to early summer of 2025.
In the meantime, we’re working with our partner organizations and team of political and organizing experts to explore new avenues of research, and thinking ambitiously and strategically about what our next campaigns and tactics are.
Our approach is going to be rooted in experimentation to try new ideas, finding out what works, and moving on from what doesn’t work. This isn’t new—it’s been part of our Vote Forward’s DNA from the start. At the same time, we’re not starting from zero and will build on what has worked in the past and make it better.
No matter what we do next, we’re committed to sharing it with you transparently, as we always have.
Vote Forward’s work to strengthen voter participation and support a thriving representative democracy, where every voter truly feels their voice matters, is more important than ever. We’re so grateful that you’re part of this community.
– The Vote Forward Team
