We believe there is a critical link between many of the problems that threaten our future and our state government, which has become ineffective, unresponsive, and unable (and unwilling) to fix itself.

The key to saving our state and the California Dream is to repair our broken government, so it is transparent, accountable, and focuses on results. We need our state government to be innovative in how it produces results; and we need our state government to find cost-effective solutions to improving our schools, transportation, and public safety.

California Forward, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, is working to bring government closer to the people. We believe empowered local communities are best equipped to solve their own problems.

We are committed to partnering with others across the state to develop our Fiscal Reform, Operational Reform, and Democracy Reform efforts. We are also engaging in a statewide conversation on reform, Speak Up CA, in which citizens across the state will be given an opportunity to learn more and help shape our reform proposals.

California Forward is supported or endorsed by an unprecedented diversity of more than 200 business, labor, faith, and community organizations from all over the state.
