Move Forward New York is dedicated to helping citizens access information to facilitate progressive political action. This page is
designed to provide a broad variety of resources, including practical information such as how to vote as well as information on several
specific issues (e.g., education, immigration, etc.) to help us be fully educated moving forward.
Note: This list is not meant to be exhaustive. Rather, it represents what we hope is a helpful list of resources to facilitate the work of our organization.
