Threat

Eliminating the threat of

Gun Violence

Berrien Forward understands the severity of gun violence from homicides, mass-shootings, and rising rates of suicide; we know we have a storm of bad legislation, mental health issues, and expansive access to firearms that make those horrible incidents all the more common. We advocate expanded background checks, extreme risk and protection orders, higher scrutiny on gun manufacturers, expansion of publicly funded programs to address the socio-economic issues that underpin gun violence, and a new but scientific approach to dealing with chronic mental health disorders.

About

Support Unions And

Skill Trades

 
Here at Berrien Forward, we will always stand with our union brothers and sisters, because we know a paycheck is about dignity and self-esteem – and every working person in this country deserves the opportunity to join a union. Berrien Forward will continue strong partnerships with local, state, and national labor unions, locals, and labor leaders to ensure our public policy gives the average citizen a fighting chance.
Ballot

Enhancing Equitable

Access to the Ballot

We believe that the strongest power in a democracy resides in the ballot. Equipping each resident with the information to make the most informed and reasoned decision is our core mission. State government should expand early voting and no reason for absentee voting; while, subsequently providing funding for municipalities and counties to implement these expansions. Municipalities – as much as possible – cement consistent polling locations, communications, and mail no-reason absentee ballot applications to residents with postage paid. Finally, we advocate for free and fair elections, where no politicians, special interest groups, or organizations can influence poll workers, clerks, or ballot tabulators for any purpose.
