Friends,
We’re
excited to announce the launch of It’s Up to Us, a new bi-weekly podcast from the
Forward Party focused on democracy reform, independent voters, and how
Americans can fix a political system built for gridlock.
Hosted
by Forward Party CEO Lindsey Drath, former New Jersey Governor
Christine Todd Whitman, and former Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor
Kerry Healey, the show brings together leaders who have governed,
built coalitions, and believe cooperation is how real progress gets
made.
The
first episode drops today, January 15 @ www.forwardparty.com/podcast and on Apple, Spotify and other podcast
networks.
Here is a behind-the-scenes
look at producing some of the episodes:
It's Up to Us - Behind the scenes
reel
Why this podcast — and why now?
Americans are exhausted by politics that rewards fighting
instead of fixing things. It’s Up to Us is about cutting through the
noise, talking honestly about what’s broken, and highlighting
solutions that actually work.
Independents are now the largest group of voters in the country,
yet they’re often treated like an afterthought. This podcast takes
their frustration seriously and explores reforms like open primaries
and ending partisan gerrymandering that give voters more voice and
more real choice.
What you’ll
hear
Each
30–45 minute episode blends honest conversation, real data, and a
little humor. The hosts tackle issues like gridlock, closed primaries,
and gerrymandering — but they also spotlight people and ideas that are
making real progress.

You can
support the launch by:

What’s coming next?
Future
episodes will feature journalists, candidates, elected officials,
academics, and reform advocates who are working to make our democracy
more functional, fair, and accountable.
Fixing
our democracy doesn’t start with parties or politicians; it starts
with citizens who demand better.
Thank
you for being part of this movement.
It’s up
to us.

Team
