The Forward Party is celebrating its third anniversary as a political party with a virtual event later this month. The celebration will take place on July 29 and is free to attend with advance registration.
The party has teased that the “birthday bash” will include appearances from prominent Forwardists and “more than a few special surprises,” though it does not go into additional detail. The event is open to the public and is presented as both a celebration of the party and an opportunity to highlight its progress since its launch in 2022.
“Three years ago, the Forward Party launched as the first step in a long road towards building a better and more representative democracy that listens to the needs of its people, holds elected officials accountable, and drives the country forward,” the party wrote in an announcement shared to supporters over email this week.
The party was formally announced on July 27, 2022, in a letter to The Washington Post by founding co-chairs David Jolly, Christine Todd Whitman, and Andrew Yang. Since then, the Forward Party has secured some level of ballot access in several states, including through mergers with existing state-level organizations, and has established or begun forming formal chapters in more than a dozen others. The party claims to have grown into a movement of “hundreds of thousands of voters” and continues to promote itself as “America’s new party.”
