John,

Last week marked Juneteenth, the date to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.

In honor of this joyous celebration, and our nation’s newest federal holiday, team NPPEF was out in several locations across the Commonwealth assisting eligible Pennsylvanians to vote and engaging in meaningful conversations around this year’s local, municipal, and judicial elections.

Our staff was out at Juneteenth events in the following counties:

• York

• Dauphin

• Monroe

• Allegheny

• Chester

• Montgomery

For us, Juneteenth will always be a day of celebration and advocacy. We were out across the Commonwealth, participating in a joyous celebration of freedom and family, and reaffirming our commitment to engage historically disenfranchised Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, immigrant communities, and young voters to participate in the democratic process to achieve a more representative democracy.

With critical elections just around the corner, we are proud to continue our commitment to consistent year-round civic engagement to ensure that voters have everything they need to make their voices heard in every single election – and our work has never been more important.
