Santa Monica Forward

Come meet the Santa Monica Forward community at our monthly happy hour! If you're interested in biking, urbanism, local politics or housing affordability you might enjoy hanging out with us at the Brew Works. We welcome everyone, whether you've been in the area all your life or just moved to town.

Santa Monica Forward is a volunteer-led community of neighbors dedicated to building a more affordable, equitable, and sustainable Santa Monica. We believe that building new homes, defending tenants rights, proactive public safety, and supporting a vibrant local economy will create a city where more people can afford to live, work, and raise families. We envision a community that leads in protecting our local and global environment, enables people of all ages to thrive, and embraces civil discourse on civic issues.
