About Ashland Forward

Our mission is to educate, empower, and inspire community action for a sustainable, thriving Ashland community.

Are you concerned about what is happening in Ashland and the actions taken by your city government?

Are you aware the city is continuing to spend big even while facing a fiscal cliff? 

Ashland Forward is a citizens group dedicated to progressive change rooted in collaboration and respect.

We believe that true sustainability grows from transparent leadership, accountable decision-making, and open communication — values that strengthen trust and community connection.

Our goal is to create a shared space where residents can better understand how local government decisions shape everyday life in Ashland — and how, together, we can build a more sustainable and resilient future.

We’ve come together because we see opportunities to do better — to bring clarity, transparency, and accountability back into our city’s decision-making process.
