  • Vigil for Healthcare: Shut Down Greed, Not Our Families!

    Scranton City Hall 340 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, Pennsylvania

    About this event Families across America are struggling to keep up with rising costs of groceries, housing, and utilities. Now, Trump and Republicans in Congress have made it worse—slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act this summer, sending premiums soaring and threatening coverage for millions. The results are devastating: Up to 150,000 residents could lose health coverage next year if Congress fails to extend the tax credits that keep insurance affordable. Pennie executive director Devon Trolley warns that without these credits, “costs will rise sharply, forcing nearly half a million people to choose between their health and their financial security.” Premiums for Pennie enrollees would jump about 82% on average. For example, a family of two paying $178 a month could see their bill climb to $326. Hospitals and clinics—especially in rural areas—risk closure as more patients are priced out of care. And now, instead of fixing the damage, Republicans have chosen to shut down the federal government. Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressman Bresnahan are at the center of this crisis. Bresnahan may claim he supports relief, but his bill is nothing more than a delay—a Band-Aid over a bullet wound—meant to hide the consequences. Join […]

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

    Scranton City Hall 340 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, Pennsylvania

    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.

  • No Kings! 10/18/25 – Scranton

    Lackawanna County Courthouse Square 200 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, PA, United States

    Time: 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. Location: Lackawanna County Courthouse Square, 200 N. Washington Ave., Scranton, PA 18503 RSVP HERE! About this event: In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
