Learn about the work of New Pennsylvania Project, founded by Kadida Kenner and modeled after Stacy Abrams’ New Georgia Project and Fair Fight Georgia. The group has big plans to reverse trends we saw in 2020, when Biden’s victory did not translate into progressive gains in PA legislative races. According to NPP’s website, they will “expand Pennsylvania’s electorate so it reflects the Commonwealth’s demographically changing population…engage and empower young residents and those living in underrepresented and often neglected communities of color and immigrant communities. We will register them to vote, provide education about the issues that matter in their neighborhoods, and mobilize people to vote in every election - twice a year.”
