Who We Are
Connect Forward is a 501(c)4 organization and “political action committee” dedicated to funding and facilitating a new media ecosystem for progressive politics. We believe that investing in unifying leaders within the Democratic Party and providing them with opportunities to connect, strategize, and grow is essential to succeeding in the next two election cycles and beyond.
Our Mission
-
We believe that content creators need to be able to make a living talking about politics online. We provide financial support to liberal content creators through paid speaking opportunities and strategic content partnerships. By funding digital voices with targeted engagement, we enhance Democratic outreach beyond traditional methods.
-
Micro-influencers are the new local journalists, leveraging social media to inform and engage communities. Our training programs equip them with the skills and resources they need to become effective messengers, activists, and relational organizers – turning their audiences into Democratic voters.
-
The far-right media ecosystem fosters collaboration through regular in-person gatherings. We aim to do the same – bring together progressive content creators through conferences, panels, and networking events to strengthen our infrastructure and messaging strategies.
