Faith Forward (formerly Faith 2020) was founded amid a pandemic to defeat the authoritarian threat to our democracy. In 2020, Faith Forward used geo-targeted digital ad strategy, text messaging, and targetted canvassing to persuade independents and motivate faith-rooted voters in 6 battleground states. Our ads targeted English and Spanish-speaking Latino religious voters, swing Catholics, and progressive religious voters and featured local voices in each swing state. Faith Forward also organized dozens of online events during the pandemic to engage specific religious audiences.

After the 2020 election, Faith Forward played a significant leadership role in informing the public amidst rampant disinformation from the Trump Administration by participating in the Count Every Vote campaign, then hosted an emergency online prayer service rallying over 15,000 people after the January 6th Insurrection. Since 2021, Faith Forward continued to engage our audience in issues that will continue to challenge us in the coming year, including reproductive health, LGBTQ+ rights, the meaning of true religious freedom, the threat of Christian nationalism, climate justice, and much more.

In December 2022, Faith Forward played a vital role in the Georgia Senate Runoff election with Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker by organizing events in the Black Belt to motivate Black voters to turn out once again to reelect Reverend Senator Warnock.
