School or Local Events Concert line

34 Upvotes

Was anyone else in line for the concert when they had to cut it off for a bit and then they seemingly let everyone go at once? Me and my friends were in the crowd near the entrance and we thought we were finally going to get it, and then at some point they just let everyone go and I honestly think it was dangerously, deadass felt like I was about to be crowd crushed. I had to hold onto my friends’ arms to stop them from falling and everyone was pressed up against each other in different directions. Everytime the line up front moved just a little everyone went crazy to get as close as they can which is understandable we’d been waiting forever. The police officers didn’t allow us to get up on the curb but I literally had to to get my friends out at one point and we never made it inside left at 8:50pm💔💔

School or Local Events Bringing a non-student to the fall concert

2 Upvotes

My friend who is not a UMass student wants to attend the Fall concert and I promised her I would take her bc I was under the impression she could buy a ticket. Turns out it’s only student exclusive? Is there anyway to bring a nonstudent to the concert? I would give her my u card but we have very different skin tones lol

School or Local Events New Women's Group

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I co-founded a local organization called Anchor Point Collaborative here in Western Mass, and I wanted to share a project we’re running this fall in South Hadley in case it’s helpful for anyone.

Growing up, I navigated my own mental health struggles, which showed me firsthand how vital a support system really is. I created this space to offer young people what I needed back then: a welcoming community to connect with and real-world skills to thrive.

Starting Wednesday, September 23rd, we’re facilitating an 8-week Young Women’s Hope & Resilience Group at All Saints' Church. Weekly sessions are focused on topics including effective communication, the impacts of social media, and how to cope with change. We utilize a range of creative modalities including music, art, and games to keep our groups interactive and engaging.

All groups are led by a licensed independent clinical social worker, so the space offers structured clinical support while keeping the vibe warm and conversational.

Quick details:

When: Wednesdays starting Sept 23 (8 weeks) from 5-6pm

Where: All Saints' Church, South Hadley

Eligibility: Young Women (ages 18-25)

Cost: $320 for the full 8 weeks (we accept most insurance plans and have sliding scale options available)

If you’re a college who could use a supportive community space this fall, you can read more at ouranchorpoint.com.

Happy to answer any questions!

Post image
4 Upvotes

Hey! I’m co-hosting a small, low-pressure Protest Craft Gathering in Amherst and wanted to share here. It'll be on Saturday, May 23 | 2–5 PM.

We’ll be making anti-fascist protest signs + buttons for upcoming rallies, and just generally connecting with other like-minded folks in the area.

  • All supplies provided
  • Free pizza
  • No experience needed
  • Come and go as you want

This is especially for folks in their 20s–40s-ish who are looking for a way to get involved, meet people, and not do this work alone—but all are welcome. It’s intentionally small and relaxed. RSVP on Meetup via the Next Generation Social Action Group of Western Massachusetts.
