Monsters, Masks & Medical Bills Community Event and Halloween Costume Giveaway!

Bethlehem Area Public Library 11 W. Church Street, Bethlehem

This Saturday, bring the family for FREE Halloween costumes and community storytelling! 👻 At Monsters, Masks & Medical Bills, we’re giving away children’s Halloween costumes (while supplies last) — and inviting families to share their real-life experiences with unaffordable health care, rising premiums, and other healthcare concerns. RSVP HERE! We’ll be recording short stories and photos (with permission) to lift up local voices, connect neighbors, and show the human cost of the “Big Ugly Bill.” Together, we can make sure policymakers and the media hear what families are facing — and why health care shouldn’t be a horror story. 🎃 Come for the costumes. Stay for the conversation. Let’s turn fear into action and make health care work for everyone.\ Organized by: Pennsylvania Policy Center Pennsylvanians Together Action Together NEPA For Our Future PA Affordable PA Moms Rising Together

We Will Not Be Erased: Chalk the Rainbow for National Coming Out Day 2025!

Scranton City Hall 340 N. Washington Ave., Scranton

Across the country, rainbow crosswalks — symbols of LGBTQ+ pride and visibility — have been disappearing. But this National Coming Out Day (Saturday, October 11, 2025), join Queer NEPA, Pennsylvanians Together, and local partners as we turn the streets into a canvas of joy, color, and community. We will not be erased — we will shine brighter. Here’s how it works: – If your community already has a rainbow crosswalk, that's a great place for a rally, press event, or celebration. – If not, we’ll make one — by chalking a rainbow crosswalk together and filling it with life, laughter, and love. This is a family-friendly, joy-filled action of unity. Bring chalk, bring music, bring food, bring friends — and most of all, bring your pride. Don’t forget to share photos and videos with #WeWillNotBeErased and #ChalkTheRainbow so we can celebrate together across the country. Together, we’ll dance, laugh, and step into pride — proving that our colors can never be erased.
