WHO WE ARE: Generation Forward is a multi-candidate, independent-expenditure political action committee that will be active in the 2016 presidential election, supporting Democratic Presidential Candidate Governor Martin O'Malley. We are a PAC like none other. We are not your typical super PAC – focused on yesterday's dark politics. The way we get dirty is working hard in the field for a new generation of leaders. We will build on the tremendous energy of campaigns that inspired Martin O'Malley to run. Every one of his campaigns, and every real movement in this country, began with community organizing. That's why Generation Forward is starting with our friends, families and neighbors - and the belief that we can do better by working together. It is time to pass the torch of leadership, and we're looking for talented team members to join us.
