We are just 255 days away from the 2024 General Election but there is much work to be done — and we can’t do it alone! New Pennsylvania Project is on a mission to register 60,000 voters from across the Commonwealth, with a focus on reaching those from underserved and underrepresented communities. We can’t do that, however, without your continued support. If you haven’t yet, please consider clicking the button below and investing just a few dollars in these efforts.

Every dollar helps us host more events, reach more people, and ultimately, register more voters ahead of this incredibly high-stakes election!

Young Philly voters will be key in the next election. Here’s how to mobilize them. ([link removed])

(Philadelphia Inquirer)
* Only 26% of eligible 18-year-olds in the Philadelphia region have registered to vote. As the 2024 elections draw closer, we hear urgent calls to increase youth voter registration, as though that will suddenly create engaged, first-time voters. While this concern is well founded, there are few serious options for funding, programs, or policies that will make a long-term difference in youth voter participation.
