The Pennsylvania Forward Party welcomed several guests to speak at this month’s general meeting.

• David Thornburgh from BallotPA joined us to talk about the push to open our primaries
  • We have a very good opportunity to make this happen over the next month, but they need Forwardists like you to contact your legislators to encourage them to support open primaries.
    • In addition to signing their petition, https://www.ballotpa.org/petition, you can make support even more effective by writing a physical letter, calling your legislator’s office, or even making a visit to their office.
    • Find your legislator with this website: https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/findyourlegislator/
• Jason Ercole—Campaign Manager for Seth Bluestein joined us to talk about Seth’s Campaign in Philadelphia.
  • Seth Bluestein is running for Philadelphia City Commissioner. The commissioners are responsible for the administration of elections in Philadelphia. In the 2020 election, while serving as the Chief Deputy Commissioner, Mr. Bluestein showed tremendous integrity and bravery in the administration of Presidential election.
  • The best way to support this campaign is to go to Seth’s website & sharing information about Seth.
