John --



Over the past few weeks, the Forward Party made huge inroads in establishing party status in South Carolina and California! This kind of organizing and party building is thanks to the dedicated team on the ground in those states and the volunteers and supporters ready to move our country Forward! 



But South Carolina and California are just two of the states we're gaining traction. Forward leaders and volunteers are pulling together great community events across the country! Check out what's happening near you.



Best,



-- The Forward Party Team
