This news story quotes Lindsey Drath, CEO of the Forward Party, as saying that the Forward Party will work to improve ballot access laws.  One might think this would be obvious, but until recently the Forward Party has not been active in efforts to ease ballot access laws.  Currently it has a strong lawsuit against the New Mexico ballot access laws, which marks a good beginning.  The New Mexico lawsuit takes aim at the unique New Mexico law that says even after a minor party gains qualified status, it must submit a nominee petition for each of its nominees (except the law doesn’t apply to presidential nominees).

The part of the article that quotes Drath is toward the end of the article.  The article is mainly about the Idaho U.S. Senate race, in which there is no Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, and Democrats intend to support an independent candidate.  Then the story talks about the Forward Party and its support for that independent candidate.
