On August 2, 2025 Naomi Weiss published an article titled: New Pennsylvania Project Opens Office in Bensalem, Its First in Bucks County in Bucks County Beacon.
“The New Pennsylvania Project, a voting rights organization, opened its first Bucks County office in Bensalem on Thursday.
Kadida Kenner, the founding CEO of New Pennsylvania Project, said the organization specifically chose to reside in Bensalem because there is a proportionately larger demographic of people of color than Bucks County as a whole. Additionally, 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, which is higher than the statewide 18 percentage point gap.
‘It’s really about meeting people where they are,’ Kenner said. ‘And, if that means we’re going to an NAACP meeting or we’re going to a cultural festival, which we’ve done in Bucks County, we want to be where the people are, and we want to talk to them about getting registered to vote.'”
