What we’re about
The Maryland Forward Party stands for doing, not dividing. We reject political extremism and are working together to take real action for the unrepresented majority in American politics. We're not building a copy of the current parties, we're moving American politics forward.
More unites us than divides us. What do you want to change in the world?
Help save democracy and fix our broken government.

Or check your local libraryThe Minotaur Book Club delves into timeless questions and contemporary challenges, inviting participants to explore the roots of governance, liberty, and democracy through the lens of history and philosophy. The discussions will provide a fertile ground for examining how the principles of justice, equality, and collective responsibility have evolved and where they still fall short.
Purpose: The purpose of the book club is to counteract our country’s historical amnesia and strengthen our democracy. To that end, we will read and discuss books that help us to understand the American Project, diagnose persisting problems, and suggest ways to fulfill the mission of the Preamble to the Constitution.
"We the People of the United States, to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
The Minotaur is one of the key archetypes representing the threat to social order when government leaders threaten democracy by converting public goods to private purposes. The best defense for a democracy is educated citizens.
