Dear Reader,

In this enormously consequential year, a lot of publications are cutting back or shutting down.  


Not the Forward. In fact, we’ve taken down our paywall, which means that for the first time in our 126-year history, all the Forward’s content — including political journalism, analysis and opinion pieces — is free to everyone, everywhere.


We pursue the truth wherever it takes us. But while our news is free to read, it’s not free to produce. You can support our work during the 2024 election year and beyond by making a gift and becoming a member during our Passover Pledge Drive.

Become a Forward Member!

We are already seeing how this weekend's Iranian attacks on Israel are being used by both parties to appeal to American voters.

Because the Forward is an independent outlet, we only serve you—our readers —free of partisan agenda. We chase down the stories and perspectives that matter most to you and report on them with clarity and honesty.


If you value our trustworthy, courageous journalism, become a member today. Your gift is an investment in independent journalism you trust during this critical election year.


With gratitude,

Jacob Kornbluh

Senior Political Reporter

The Forward
