Please note: McCandless Crossing is hosting a charity walk this Saturday from 12-5 PM; parking availability in McCandless Crossing may be impacted.
Our rallies are a peaceful, nonviolent expression of our concerns & freedom of speech. All participants are expected to participate peacefully. If counter-protestors show up, please do not engage with them. They have a right to demonstrate. If they show up to harass us, we'll contact the police.
Temps are forecast to be...wait for it....in the low 70s!!! Rain is possible. Please remember to bring whatever you need to be healthy, safe, and have a good time: warm/waterproof layers, hat, umbrella; bring water, camping chair, etc. Join us as we show up for democracy in the North Hills!
Rally for Democracy! At McCandless Crossing, intersection of Duncan Ave & McKnight Rd. on Saturday, March 7th, 1-2pm.
Dress for the weather and bring water, chair, flags, cowbells, and a sign--or just show up as your beautiful self! And please bring trusted friends and neighbors.

Hello! You're in the right place for information. We make announcements on this page before we peacefully gather with information. Stay tuned!
Yesterday the Sun was shining, temperatures warmer than they have been, and over 70 members of our community showed up and declared "this is what Democracy looks like!"

New Event Rebirthing Civil Disobedience!
Tuesday February 24th, 6-9pm
We’re excited to invite you to Rebirthing Civil Disobedience: Part III, an in-depth training focused on the practice of civil disobedience and how movements build power through disciplined, strategic action.
We'll be collecting donations of food/personal care items (chapstick, dental floss, toothbrush/paste, deodorant, etc.) for neighbors who could use a boost. If you can bring a donation, there will be bins to place them in. Gift cards to Aldi's and other easily accessed grocery chains are also ideas.
Our rallies are a peaceful, nonviolent expression of our concerns & our freedom of speech. Participants are expected to participate peacefully. If counter-protestors show up, please do not engage with them. They have a right to demonstrate, but if they show up to harass us, we'll contact the police.
Please do not park in the CVS or WesBanco parking lots. We recommend the parking lot outside of the former Dick's Sporting Goods. Participants with mobility issues can be dropped off at the CVS parking lot. The #12 bus (McKnight Route) stops at Fox Hunt Drive and Cumberland.
We hope you can join us this Saturday, February 21 at 1:00pm to Rally for Democracy at the Duncan Ave & McKnight Rd intersection of McCandless Crossing. Please come, bring friends and neighbors, and help us spread the word--including by following us on BlueSky and Instagram! Details follow below.
But with this attack on our voting rights, we can’t take anything for granted. We must keep telling our senators to stop this voter suppression bill in its tracks.
And if you’re in Pennsylvania, be sure to tell Fetterman how you feel about his embarrassing decision to publicly back these GOP bills.
All hands are needed to contact our representatives about the SAVE Act which will restrict who will be able to vote. Or you can go directly to their official websites and send a message to them via their page. If you call and no one answers or the voice mail is full, try again later.

SALUTE is a great way to focus on the details of what's going on in the moment, which in turn do help the person(s) being questioned.
Never directly interfere and keep a distance if you happen to be where something is going on.
Stay Safe!
Please join Indivisible Pittsburghand partners to continue to protest against ICE and CBP's brutality. Sunday, Feb 8 at 2 pm at Three Rivers Heritage Park (Hot Metal Bridge St. & Three Rivers Heritage Trail, the green space by the Hot metal bridge up the street from ICE).
May we continue to use this time to use our voices, & build community that centers compassion, dignity, & human rights. We will Rally for Democracy again on Saturday, February 21 at 1:00 PM. We'll be in touch again before that rally.
Thank you for all you are doing to build this beloved community!

This week's Rally for Democracy is CANCELLED. There will not be a rally this Saturday, February 7.
The sidewalks around McCandless Crossing have not all been well cleared of snow, and this brings up safety concerns especially those with mobility concerns.
Stay Warm!
Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you at a future gathering.
This Sunday, February 8th, at 2pm in South Side, Pittsburgh says ICE OUT! Join others from the Pittsburgh community who share the same message.
Remember to keep it Peaceful, dress warmly and be safe!

Hello! You're in the right place! We post here on BlueSky when we are having future peaceful gatherings. Stay tuned!
It has been suggested that if one of his phone numbers is full, find the number to his other office in Washington, and to keep trying. Emails and letters to the office also work, however not as effective as getting a staff member to take note of a call. Thank you for making the calls!
Your phone calls are more important. If you are looking for a way to become involved this is it! Make the calls!
