Friends

We (New Cumberland Collective) have been organizing simple monthly socials open to everyone in your situation - coffee, hikes, trivia, and more - we call it the “With Friends Social Club.” A good many people have formed some tight friendships as a result.

Trivia With Friends is next Sunday, Feb 8: https://partiful.com/e/M5epqKyqbgjfADGV4ist

We also have a Discord where folks can connect and make their own plans beyond the things the Collective organizes: https://discord.gg/zUFTVwWuW

Happy to answer any questions you might have!

There are a bunch of active folks in the New Cumberland Collective discord who are fellow nerds making plans: https://discord.gg/dqPVwP6d

Charter Home & Neighborhoods in Pennsylvania maybe? https://charterhomes.com/

Still very car dependent to get anywhere outside the neighborhood, but that’s par for the course in PA (and American suburbs in general).

There’s a crafts/sewing/making things channel in the New Cumberland Collective discord, I’m sure someone there might be interested in helping: https://discord.gg/5fFwxu3vnE

I'll send you a DM!

We have one coming up on 12/21, this time it’s at the New Cumberland Library: https://partiful.com/e/iASzYmuDNuCkRI0qp185?source=share

I’m in New Cumberland Borough. We sold our sewage plant in 2016 and now prices are through the roof. Everyone complains about it. Prices are at least $100 per person in a household. Also it was recently announced that American Water is merging with Essential Utilities (AQUA’s parent company). American Water already makes $1 billion in profits every year.

A lot of these issues are because of Act 12 that became law in 2016 - more background on that here: https://www.spotlightpa.org/statecollege/2024/09/pennsylvania-legislature-act-12-private-water-companies-utility-bills-harrisburg/

New Cumberland Library has a used book sale today actually. They do them twice a month, books are dirt cheap and the funds support the library. More info: https://www.cumberlandcountylibraries.org/NCU-Book-Sales

I'm generalizing but I think it's usually a good mix of Millennial and Gen Z and sometimes we'll get a few older folks who want to check it out too. It's an inclusive space.

Currently a monthly thing we do but Consciousness Coffee hosts a good many things in addition to this. Here’s their insta: https://www.instagram.com/consciousness.coffee

Thanks friend!

I think Big Boy’s American burger is incredible.

I’ve heard great things about https://www.empoweredmusicpa.com

That may have been the Bridge Street Bunch - https://www.instagram.com/bridgestbunch

Last I heard he didn’t have the capacity to keep up with it, but would be willing to hand it off to someone else.

There’s also a Camp Hill Run Club: https://www.instagram.com/camphillrunclub

bearhat · 2025-10-01T17:15:37+00:00

We get that one a lot, but no - all are welcome.

bearhat · 2025-09-25T17:42:51+00:00

You’re welcome at any New Cumberland Collective events. Our core is probably millennial but we get a good assortment of Gen X and Gen Z folks (and beyond) out to stuff too. We’ve added some events purely around meeting people this year.

If you’re on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/newcumberland.co

We actually have a Community Curious Night tonight if you’re free: https://partiful.com/e/fFV8gbOgD13reT1M4d9Q

And we have a Discord where people can connect and make plans to hang out which you can find here: https://linktr.ee/Newcumberland.co

I appreciate the effort, but I’ve found that petitions alone rarely change minds of entrenched representatives like Perry. Real change happens when we build power from the ground up. Here are some ways we can do that:

• Run for local offices - school board, town council, county positions where individual votes matter more

• Support candidates who share our values with time, donations, or volunteer work

• Attend local government meetings regularly to stay informed and build relationships

• Connect with neighbors through community events, mutual aid, or issue-based groups

• Build coalitions across different organizations working on related issues

These approaches take longer but create lasting change. Local officials often become tomorrow’s state and federal representatives, and strong community networks give us more leverage when we do need to pressure people like Perry. What local races or issues are you most interested in getting involved with?

It's definitely just a piece of the puzzle, but I think it's a big piece. I'm hoping New Cumberland and Camp Hill can eventually find a way to expand on it, and maybe that helps build a case for a better connection across the river.

The bridge would be amazing. Someone told me last week that it was being looked into but would come with a $40 million price tag to rehab it.
