F.O.R.G.E. AMERICA
Fathers & Offenders Restoring Governance & Economics
Leveraging The Front End
WHO WE ARE
FORGE America is a national, non-partisan political advocacy organization dedicated to restoring the role of fathers and justice-impacted individuals as productive citizens, family leaders, and contributors to America’s future.
​
We believe strong households—not broken systems—are the foundation of public safety, educational success, and economic stability. FORGE exists to advance policies that reward responsibility, support redemption through work, and restore full citizenship after accountability has been met.
​
People are not defined by their worst mistake—but by what they build afterward.
WHY F.O.R.G.E MATTERS
Across America, millions of fathers and individuals with felony convictions are locked out of opportunity—unable to fully work, vote, parent, or lead. This exclusion fuels:
​
-
Broken families
-
Cycles of violence
-
Workforce shortages
-
Recidivism
-
Generational poverty
​
Punishment alone has not fixed these problems.
FORGE advances solutions that restore dignity, responsibility, and civic participation—because redemption strengthens communities and makes America safer.
