Today, across America, citizens of all stripes, civic and community leaders, businesspeople, workers, friends and neighbors, students and teachers, are disgusted with the current state of our political environment. But rather than turning away in despair, they are working to turn their aspirations for the future into action. This spirit of activism and engagement is evident in the Northern California counties that include the Siskiyou and Sierra Mountain ranges, adjacent foothills, and their nearby valley communities. Sierra Forward is an expression of that renewed spirit. Sierra Forward is reaching out to, engaging with and involving voters from across the region, and from across the political spectrum—left, center and center-right. We believe common ground can be found through conversations among those with open minds. Believing that no elected official, and no one seeking to become an elected official, should be immune from listening, responding, representing and ultimately reflecting the values and needs of their constituents, Sierra Forward’s leadership team is working to inform, register, engage, motivate and turnout voters who share our concerns and our commitment to makes ours “a more perfect Union.”
