Pondside Chorus: A Vernal Pool Experience
2026-04-13 18:30 - 20:00 | UUCGL, 101 Forest Ave, Swampscott, MA, 01907, United States
From the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn: A Presentation, Live Animal Exhibit, and Vernal Pool Exploration being held on Monday, April 13th at 6:30pm.
Ever wonder what makes those “BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP” and “CHIRP-CHIRP-CHIRP” sounds in the woods? On warm, rainy spring days, the forest comes alive with mysterious calls. Are they birds? Bugs? Frogs? Something else entirely?
Come find out at a free, family-friendly exploration of vernal ponds and the amazing creatures that depend on them. Vernal ponds are temporary, fishless wetlands that fill with rainfall and snow melt. They’re essential breeding grounds for amphibians and other species and they can be found right here in Swampscott!
🎥 The Adventure Begins Indoors
We’ll kick things off with “Vernal Ponds,” a 15‑minute film created by the Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team and shot entirely on Cape Ann. The video offers a fascinating introduction to vernal pond ecology and the hidden world these temporary wetlands support.
🐸 Meet the Experts (and the Wildlife!)
Rick Roth from the Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team will share why vernal pond certification and protection matter, answer your questions, and introduce you to a few live frogs, salamanders, and other critters up close.
🌲 Then We Head Into the Woods*
After the indoor program, we’ll venture outside together for a guided walk to a certified vernal pool in the woods surrounding the building. Experience firsthand the sights and sounds of these seasonal habitats and the wildlife that rely on them.
*Rain or Shine! If participating in the exploration, we recommend you wear waterproof footwear and bring a flashlight.

“Glitter Road”: A Reading and Conversation with January Gill O’Neil
2026-04-30 14:30 - 16:00 | North Shore Community College, 300 Broad Street, Lynn, MA, 01901, United States
Click for full-resolution flier
From Massachusetts Center for the Book: Join the North Shore Community College Lynn Campus Library for an afternoon with January Gill O’Neil, author of Glitter Road, a Massachusetts Book Awards Honors title in poetry. O’Neil will read from her celebrated collection, speak about her writing process, and share insights into her approach to crafting poems before opening the floor for an audience Q&A. She will also lead a brief writing prompt for anyone who would like to participate.
Glitter Road opens in the wake of loss, deep pain, and anger, yet the poems insist on finding flashes of celebration and joy—even if that joy is simply, in the spirit of Lucille Clifton, “what i have shaped into / a kind of life,” the triumph of survival and self-recognition. With formal dexterity and richly charged syntax, O’Neil’s poems resist the silences of fear, grief, desire, and anxiety, speaking aloud what is so often left unspoken in both private and public life. Her interrogations of race thread through the collection, shaping a speaker whose history—personal and collective—unfolds with carefully rendered detail.
This program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book.
JANUARY GILL O’NEIL is a poet and author of Glitter Road, Rewilding, Misery Islands, and Underlife. Her work has been featured in The New York Times Magazine, American Poetry Review, and Poetry, among other publications. She has received fellowships from Cave Canem, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund, among others. O’Neil is an associate professor at Salem State University and lives in Massachusetts.

20th Annual May Day March & Rally
2026-05-01 17:30 - 19:30 | City Hall Square, City Hall Square, Lynn, MA, United States
From the New Lynn Coalition: The New Lynn Coalition and the North Shore Labor Council, along with local community organizations and labor allies, will hold the 20th Annual Lynn May Day Rally and March on Friday, May 1 at 5:30 p.m., in observance of International Workers’ Day.
The program begins with a rally on the steps of Lynn City Hall, followed by a circular march along Market Street, Liberty Street, Washington Street, and Essex Street, returning to City Hall steps for a closing gathering.
Organizers say the march is intended to bring workers, immigrants, and families into the public square together to highlight ongoing struggles around wages, housing, immigration policy, and peace.
May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, has its roots in the 1886 Haymarket movement in Chicago, when workers organized for the eight-hour workday. In Lynn, the tradition dates back to 2006 with the “Day Without Immigrants” action, which helped launch a sustained local movement for worker and immigrant rights.
Tanveer Malik, Executive Director of the New Lynn Coalition, said “On this May Day workers immigrants and families stand together in unity to demand fair housing an end to mass deportations and war and to build and empower working class communities across our neighborhoods where no one is judged or pushed aside because of religion race or color and where everyone can live with safety stability and dignity”
Adam “Kaz” Kaszynski, President of the North Shore Labor Council, AFL-CIO, said, “May Day continues our long tradition of celebrating the history of the labor movement while still working to build power locally. We believe that the labor movement is strongest when firmly rooted in our communities and the struggles we all face. That’s why International Workers Day isn’t just about celebrating the history of the labor movement, it’s about continuing to fight for justice for all oppressed people. We’re proud to stand with local communities fighting for housing justice, an end to the mass deportations, and an end to the endless wars that leave us all worse off. This May Day we’re fighting for the rights of all working people”.
This year’s May Day demands include:

A Fighting Labor Movement
End Mass Deportations
Stop the Endless Wars
Housing Justice – Rent Control Now

The event is open to the public. Community members are encouraged to attend, bring signs and banners, and stand in solidarity with workers, immigrants, and families across Lynn.
