John --

We celebrated our third birthday this week in styleTuesday night we had a giant virtual event with Forward leaders and supporters from across the nation. Hundreds of you turned out to celebrate, fundraise, and build a better party and we couldn't be more proud to stand next to you on this path. 

Click the image below to watch the hype video we put together from the past few years of growth... They Don't Party Like We Do.

Together we raised a whopping $30,000 in an hour, all of which we're dedicating to helping build state parties across the country. If you want to give any more to help blow that number out of the water, we've got another $5,000 in matching funds since we beat our goal.
