RoxYunk Caroling - Meet At Pretzel Park (Cotton and Cresson)
2025-12-23 17:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Happy holidays, everyone!!
•
Come and join the RoxYunk Carolers! We are open to anyone who wishes to sing, with any level of singing experience. We will be going door-to-door throughout neighborhood and surprising our neighbors with a song at their doorstep!
•
We will try to evoke the “traditional” caroling experience with capes, top hats, and other Victorian garb. (No need to be in full costume or anything, but think “nice suit jacket” rather than “neon Christmas sweater”).
We will start in a different location each night from Dec 21 to Dec 25, meeting at 5pm and visiting well-lit and decorated houses until around 8pm (or whenever we get tuckered out).
If anyone wishes to join, we will have two preparation sessions at Harmonie Hall where we will be handing out lyric sheets and practicing to be sure we are familiar with the material. These are Monday December 15th and Thursday December 18th at 6pm.
Clarifying note on suggested garb: Victorian garb is appreciated but not strictly required. Do your best to come as an old fashioned caroler, if you have a cape, cloak, cane, top hat, flat cap, bonnet, etc! If not, something nice will do just as well – suit jacket, cable knit sweater, fur coat, whatever you have on hand! We are just going for less of a “red blinking nose” or “neon ugly sweater” vibe and veering toward more “nice holiday party” wear.
Other suggested things to bring: flameless candles and fake oil lamps – no real fire, please. Sleigh bells or other hand held percussion, or any instrument of your choice if you wish to play along.

Reclaim Philadelphia: Coffee and Community
2026-01-11 10:00 - 12:00 | Unity Java, Umbria
Reclaim Philadelphia is a multiracial member-led organization that builds community power to win change, reclaim government for the people, and advance economic, racial, and gender justice. Our work is grounded in three connected pillars: organizing and training people, changing policies and ideas, and building political power in elections and institutions. Together these pillars create a cycle that brings people together around shared interests, builds leadership, and popularizes our values. Over time our work deepens solidarity and increases the power of Philadelphia’s multiracial working class. We are serious about winning. That’s why we nurture a culture of accountability, continually analyzing the power we need, evaluating our effectiveness, and creatively shifting activities to meet the moment.
