Forward Together Action (FTA) evaluates how existing power structures help or harm our families. FTA then pushes for the changes needed to create systems that serve all of us. We build political power that uplifts the leadership of women of color, gender nonconforming people, and Indigenous communities. FTA holds elected officials accountable to ensure that all of our families get the support they need to thrive. We also support leaders and legislators who share our commitment to strong families.
