The NAACP Bucks County Branch will host a community town hall next week to discuss the impact of state leadership on justice, equity, and opportunity.
The event is scheduled for Monday, March 16, at Bucks County Community College’s Gallagher Room at the Newtown Township campus.
Organizers said the town hall is designed to facilitate dialogue between residents and leaders regarding policies that shape daily life.
The discussion will center on several key issues, including public safety, education, civic engagement, and government representation, organizers said.
Timed to coincide with Women’s History Month, the forum will feature and recognize Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Joanna McClinton, a Democrat from Philadelphia. McClinton holds the distinction of being the first woman and the first Black woman to serve in the role.
“We are honored to welcome Speaker Joanna McClinton to Bucks County during Women’s History Month,” said Adrienne King, president of the NAACP Bucks County Branch. “Her historic leadership reflects the progress that is possible when doors are opened and voices are heard.”
King stated the town hall is designed to provide a space for residents to engage with the issues that will affect future generations.
“At a time when communities across the state are seeking thoughtful leadership and inclusive policies, it is essential that residents have a space to engage in meaningful dialogue about the issues that shape our shared future,” King said.
