Lehigh Valley Stands Up members gather outside of Senator Jarrett Coleman's Allentown office to put him on notice! Housing is a human right, and Coleman has done NOTHING to address our housing affordability crisis!

Today is the last day to register to vote in Pennsylvania ahead of the midterm election, and we are kicking up the heat! We the people deserve elected officials who choose people over profit, who will push critical legislative bills!

Coleman, count your days! Come the midterm election, we will evict you! We will replace you with an elected official who actually works for their constituents!

If you haven’t requested your mail-in ballot yet, how comma? This comma butterfly wants to know!

LVSU volunteer, Lauren, here! I submitted my request at the end of September, received email notifications every step of the way, and was able to mail my ballot out today and share my sticker with this beautiful butterfly.

The deadline to request a mail-in or absentee ballot is 5pm on October 27th, and your ballot must be received by the county election office by 8pm on November 3rd. You can return your completed ballot by mail, drop box, or at your county election office. I would recommend drop box or election office if you want to ensure your ballot is received in time. Be sure to sign and date your return envelopes!

Visit pa.gov to double check your registration status, request a mail-in ballot, or find your polling place. Happy voting! 🗳️

📣WE NEED EVERYONE TO SHOW UP ON TUESDAY 12:15 PM AT ALLENTOWN CITY HALL AT THE ALLENTOWN PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING!

Our Troublemakers' Cafe team had an incredible time hosting another Spoken Word as Resistance open mic night last month!

DJ led our crowd through our theme: Layers of Labor! They offered writing prompts and quiet writing time ahead of performances. During the open mic, participants shared new and old pieces, which led to open discussions about exploitation from corporations and AI data centers, and exploration of labor for the sake of helping ourselves and others without worrying about being exploited.

We will back at Gems & Joe for another Spoken Word as Resistance open mic on Saturday, November 28th! More details to come! In the meantime, be sure to sign up for our next team planning meeting on Thursday, November 5th.
