“There was an expectation that something was going to happen,” said Adrienne King, who has two daughters in the district and is president of the @naacpbucks.bsky.social. When nothing did, “it’s a very hollow, empty feeling.”

Although a long-standing legal settlement generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days, a data analysis by ProPublica found that about 300 kids sent to Dilley by the Trump administration were there for more than a month.

Why Corporate Media Needed to Misrepresent Jesse Jackson | Jackson changed the rules of politics by offering an alternative to the top-down, big money-driven hegemony of the Democratic establishment: grassroots-funded, solidaric, genuinely populist, notes @fairmediawatch.bsky.social.

The honor of lying in state or in honor has previously been extended to distinguished civilians such as Rosa Parks, Rev. Billy Graham, and Congressman John Lewis—leaders whose moral courage shaped our nation. Jackson's lifelong commitment to justice and democracy merits the same national recognition

Civil rights work requires us to listen when communities tell us something is harmful. Native people are not mascots. They are sovereign nations, living cultures, and vibrant communities whose histories deserve respect — not appropriation. The NAACP Bucks County stands in solidarity.

The NAACP Bucks County Branch applauds Bucks County for standing alongside neighboring counties in support of preserving truthful public history at the President’s House site in Philadelphia. History is not partisan. Truth is not political. #TellTheTruth #HistoryMatters #NAACPBucksCounty

Join the conversation on 2/23/26 at 6pm. As our nation stands at a crossroads, this town hall calls us to engage, to listen, & to act. This is an important conversation on the dismantling of Black history and the state of our democracy. Learn more... www.naacpbucks.org/events-1/bla...

"Every civil rights victory we celebrate today exists because ordinary people refused to accept injustice as inevitable." - NAACP Bucks County President Adrienne King

Our Response to Sheriff Danny Ceisler’s Announcement "We remain committed to ensuring that Bucks County is a place where everyone can live, work, and seek justice without fear." The work continues. — Adrienne King President, NAACP Bucks County

Read our statement in response to Sheriff Danny Ceisler’s Announcement- "Ending 287(g) is a necessary step—but it is not sufficient on its own. Public safety is built on trust, dignity, and equal protection under the law, not on policies that place entire communities under suspicion." - Pres. King

Our communities are still at risk. We stood united with our partners and community, raising our voices against 287(g) and the deputizing of our Sheriff’s Office to coordinate and act alongside ICE in our county. We showed up because silence is not an option when our communities are at risk.

Recent remarks labeling the NAACP Bucks County and our partners as “radical” or “violent” are false and ignore our century-long legacy of peaceful, principled advocacy that has strengthened American democracy. Read our full statement. #CivilRights #JusticeForAll #TruthOverDivision #LegacyOfJustice

BIG NEWS: ACLU-PA has filed a lawsuit against the Bucks County Sheriff for unlawfully collaborating with ICE through the 287(g) agreement — and we’re proud to stand as a litigant in this case. We’re standing up for justice — and we’re not backing down.

“This program opens the door of racial profiling and unjust detentions and the criminalization of immigrant families who already live in fear,” said @naacpbucks.bsky.social President Adrienne King. “It will tear communities apart ..." #BucksCounty #Pennsylvania #immigrants #ICE #dueprocess #Justice

We stand in strong opposition to the 287(g) agreement — a policy that endangers immigrant communities & fuels racial profiling. It turns local law enforcement into an extension of ICE, eroding trust and safety. Let’s protect our neighbors, not criminalize them. #Stop287g #SolidarityNotSurveillance

We're proud to share the success of our recent voter registration event at the Bucks County Correctional Facility. We worked to ensure that eligible individuals had the opportunity to have their voices heard. Every completed application will be hand-delivered to the County BoE for processing. #vote

Yesterday, the NAACP Bucks County stood in solidarity with Immigrant Rights Action to say NO to 287(g) in Bucks County.The program allows local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration laws and violates constitutional rights. We say NO to 287(g) in Bucks County and everywhere.

“I didn’t sleep and I want to pack my desk today,” one said. "Does it matter that he supported the Oathkeepers?" a retired agent said. "We now have two conspiracy theorists and election deniers running our premier law enforcement and intelligence agency," a former official said.

@naacpbucks.bsky.social Town Hall Seeks to Dispel Misinformation Surrounding DEI and Critical Race Theory | The February 18th event in Doylestown seeks to “turn down the temperature” and promote fact-based, meaningful dialogue around diversity, equity and inclusion and critical race theory.

Does Brian Fitzpatrick Support Trump’s Pardons and Clemencies of Jan. 6th Insurrectionists? He Won’t Say | The Republican Congressman owes his constituents an explanation about where he stands on this divisive issue. And why aren’t local newspapers chasing this story?

"While America aspires to be a diverse and inclusive country, the growing trend of organizations retreating from diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is alarming." -President King
