Independent Politics and Space Exploration.

Union Forward is a publication for independent thinkers that covers independent political news, elevates down-ballot independent candidates and new political parties, uncovers corruption that will never make it into a cable news report, and supports projects to improve local communities.

We hope to give voice to America’s constellation of minor parties—some who have been around for decades (the Libertarian, Reform, and Green parties) and others who are new to the scene (the We The People, Forward, and Solidarity parties)—who are working to end the two-party system.

We also elevate state ballot referendums and initiatives on key issues such as ballot access law reforms, campaign finance reforms, and election reforms, and to lay the groundwork for future federal Independent campaigns.

Union Forward is written by Holden Culotta, an Independent activist and 𝕏 content creator.

Culotta spent three years pursuing a political science degree before leaving the University of Vermont in spring 2024 to work with the super PAC American Values on the 2024 campaign trail.

He is a space exploration enthusiast, a fan of classic films and stand-up comedy, and can best be described as libertarian in political ideology.

Culotta began his political journey as a volunteer for Andrew Yang’s 2020 presidential campaign, and joined the Forward Party that Yang launched in 2021 for several years. After two years with the Forward Party, he became an Independent and a supporter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign.
