This event will celebrate the opening of our eighth office statewide. This event will also provide an opportunity for supporters and local community members to connect and recommit to investing in year-round voter registration, engagement, civic education, and mobilization across the Commonwealth, especially in Bucks County.
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 looking to deepen our democracy and a problem the New Pennsylvania Project is actively working to solve.
This in-person gathering will include light refreshments and a chance to hear from NPP staff about how they plan to bring change to about lasting change.

NPP centers historically disenfranchised and often neglected Black, Indigenous and other people of color, immigrant communities, and the youth in our work. Through civic engagement, we ensure all eligible voters feel compelled to exercise their freedom to vote in the Commonwealth.
