This year, we reached a humbling milestone: Forward Shift turned five years old.
We are grateful to our clients, who are taking on some of the bravest, most urgent fights of our time. From the streets of Los Angeles, to the skies above Florida, to the U.S. Capitol, we could not be prouder to support them with communications strategies.
We are honored to be in partnership with a dynamic community of grounded advocates. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us!

Congratulations to our Democracy Partners colleague Lauren Windsor on the launch of her documentary, Gonzo for Democracy.

A no-nonsense film, the documentary traces political disillusionment throughout the country in recent decades, and how far-right entities capitalize on that outrage to foment authoritarianism.

Watch the documentary from The Undercurrent, now available on YouTube, via the link in our comment.

In a victory for our client, American Business Immigration Coalition Action, the Biden administration announced protections for spouses of U.S. citizens. This means that 500,000 spouses of U.S. citizens can now live and work in the U.S. safely and without fear of deportation. We couldn’t be prouder to have contributed to this significant and humane policy change.

As community members and justice organizations alike cope with polarization, inequality, and the threat of extremism, it’s too easy to lose sight of where our efforts should go.
