Moving Forward Network (MFN)

The Moving Forward Network (MFN) is a national network of over 50 member organizations that centers grassroots, frontline-community knowledge, expertise, and engagement from communities across the US affected by the global freight transportation system. MFN builds partnerships among community leaders, academia, labor, environmental organizations, and others to protect communities from the impacts of the global freight system. Its diverse membership engages in integrated and geographically dispersed advocacy strategies that incorporate organizing, communications, research, legal and technical assistance, leadership development, and movement building. These strategies respect multiple forms of expertise and builds collective power by facilitating information sharing, coordinating communications strategies, sharing advocacy tools, leading research, hosting peer-to-peer trainings, and convening local, regional, and national workshops and movement-building activities. MFN also supports and coordinates national policy campaigns for itself and its allies.
