I wanted to make sure you saw this, fellow activist.
This year, NPP opened an office in Bucks County to address a voter registration gap in our centered communities – Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color – compared to their white counterparts.
As a result, Bucks County had a record-shattering turnout of nearly 50% in this year’s judicial election, a jump of about 7% points from the last off-year election in 2023. On the local level, residents made their voices heard in a contentious Sheriff's race, standing with immigrant communities and unseating the Republican incumbent who signed a collaboration agreement with ICE.
Pennsylvania voters are powerful.
However, this office was opened with limited funding, which means in order to keep engaging and mobilizing voters in this key swing county, we are depending on grassroots support.
As we near the mid-term elections happening in 2026, will you pitch in $25 or more before MIDNIGHT to help keep NPP present in Bucks County?
Let’s do this,

Chief Development and Grants Officer

Fellow activist,
Earlier this year, we opened our first-ever Bucks County office in Bensalem. We made this choice because, according to the America Votes voter file and U.S. census data (CVAP), as of 2024, in Bucks County, 35.8% of Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color are not registered to vote compared to 4.6% of their white counterparts. This 31.2 gap is higher than the statewide 18-point gap.
This gap highlights a critical issue we face when seeking to deepen our democracy, and a problem that the New Pennsylvania Project and the affiliated New PA Project Education Fund are actively working to address.
As NPP & NPPEF’s CEO, Kadida Kenner, stated to Bucks County Beacon, this was about “meeting people where they are…we want to be where the people are at, and we want to talk to them about getting registered to vote.”
And here was our impact:
According to the Bucks County Courier Times, there was a record-setting turnout on Election Day in Bucks County with Democrats sweeping key races.
Here’s the thing: We opened the Bucks County Office with limited funding. We knew what we had to do to expand PA’s electorate and help our centered communities make their voices heard, and we acted. But we can’t keep this up without your support.
Bucks is, and will continue to be, a swing county, and we need to remain present in the community. Will you help support our Bucks County office so we can engage, educate, and mobilize more Pennsylvanians to make their voices heard by rushing $25 or more today?

Together,
Team NPP
