We turn fans into heroes.

Fandom Forward has been at the forefront of the fan activism movement since our founding in 2005. Over a decade and a half later, we continue with impactful programs and educational toolkits that equip fans with the organizing know-how and the confidence it takes to go into their communities and create positive, joyful change to enhance their world - and that of those around them - for the better.

We have an incredible volunteer base that dedicates over 350 cumulative hours a week to the operations of this beloved organization, and with the dedication of those activists and our small team of staff we are able to influence big change. Regardless of levels of financial support, we will continue our hard work, ensuring fans everywhere are able to utilize the hero within themselves to effect creative and lasting change. Just imagine - if we had even greater resources, our impact would be amplified, our reach furthered. By funding us, you are investing in fan activism - its illustrious past and its bright, burning future.

During Camp GLA's "Disability in Justice Fandom" panel, fan activists were assigned an important action item to ensure that everyone receives One Fair Wage! If you haven't already, make sure you call your senators about Bill S.53, the Raise The Wage Act of 2021! #OneFairWage
