About For Our Future
Founded in 2016,
For Our Future Action Fund and For Our Future run the largest, permanent
progressive field program across key states. Our vision is to expand the
progressive infrastructure and advance economic prosperity for all, strong
community schools, climate justice, and racial and social justice. Along with
community partners and volunteers, we consistently engage with people in
face-to-face conversations around what issues matter most to them. By
organizing people in lasting relationships, we win elections, drive local
progress, make a community’s collective voice heard, and help build the
transformative power needed to improve people’s lives.
In 2018, we made
over 10 million door knocks and held 1.5 million face-to-face conversations
with voters in 7 states. Our turnout operation and innovative program helped
restore voting rights to 1.4 million Floridians, expand Medicaid coverage to
400,000 in Virginia, and resulted in sizable electoral progress at the state
and federal level, including the pickup of 3 Governor mansions, 1 Senate seat,
13 Congressional seats, and 22 state legislative seats.
For Our Future will continue to grow and win through 2020, building power across issue fights and elections. Headquartered in Washington, DC, our current state programs include Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
