  • Cinco de Mayo Solidarity with Immigrants Rally

    Pennsylvania State Capitol 501 N. Third St., Harrisburg, PA, United States

    On May 5th at 11 AM, we will gather at the Pennsylvania State Capitol to rally for immigrant rights. Together, we can amplify voices that have been silenced, fight against injustice, and show that solidarity is not just a word—it is a force that creates change. Immigrants throughout the country are facing some of the worst attacks we’ve ever seen. Right-wing extremists’ goal is mass detention and deportation, tearing apart families, attempting to end legal protections like DACA, gutting asylum rights and actively criminalizing immigrant communities. But instead of backing down, we must find strength in community. We must not forget that when fear and division are used as tools for governance, we all lose. Through difficult times, we must organize with neighbors and allies. We need all of us. RSVP today to join us at the state Capitol! Together we will rally at the state Capitol to denounce the attacks on immigrants’ rights and remind everyone that undocumented people are hard-working people and that everyone deserves respect and dignity, no matter who they are, where they were born, or what language they speak. Since it is Cinco de Mayo, we are also encouraging attendees to embrace and celebrate immigrants’ […]

  • PA Schools Work Rally at the PA Capitol!

    Pennsylvania State Capitol - Front Steps 501 N. Third St., Harrisburg, PA, United States

    Noon, May 13, 2025 – PA State Capitol REGISTER HERE. Our students are in classrooms that are underfunded and overcrowded. Teachers are paying out of pocket and picking up the slack. And public education is suffering. Each child in Pennsylvania has a right to an excellent public education. Every child, regardless of zip code, deserves access to a full curriculum, art and music classes, technical opportunities, and a safe, clean, stable environment. All children must be provided a level chance to succeed. PA Schools Work is fighting for equitable, adequate funding necessary to support educational excellence. Investing in public education excellence is the path to thriving communities, a stable economy and successful students.

  • Social Hour with Luzerne County Chapter — Action Together NEPA

    Action Together NEPA HQ 30 E Northampton St , PA 18701, Wilkes-Barre, PA, United States

    Join us for a special Luzerne County Chapter Social Hour on Wednesday, May 21st, as we focus on what communities do to support each other, and what we expect our elected representatives to do to have our backs! Hear from advocates and local faith leaders, and bring a donation (nonperishable food item or a monetary donation) for a local food bank if you’re able! Families and communities look out for one another. From our schools and healthcare providers to local organizations, we all strive to ensure that everyone not only gets by—but has the chance to thrive. That responsibility includes our elected officials. Right now, Congress is moving quickly on a reconciliation package that could gut vital safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP, shifting the burden to states and local communities. These cuts would endanger families, strain local budgets, and jeopardize Pennsylvania’s ability to meet basic needs—all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. We call on Representative Rob Bresnahan to honor his commitment to protect Medicaid and SNAP. The Republican-proposed cuts could strip health care from hundreds of thousands of people in our region and take food off the tables of families across the 8th District—all to benefit […]
