Despite these various difficulties, members of the NH Rebellion came to 456 Union St. at the 1269 Cafe to volunteer their time on a Sunday. They showed up as early as 9:30 a.m. to serve breakfast to some of Manchester’s homeless individuals.
The game was anything but comfortable for the Rebellion. The Knockout ran the ball early and often, sometimes with great efficiency. Long runs were in evidence as the Knockout pulled ahead 14 to 0 at the end of the first quarter, then 33 to 0 by halftime.

In September 2022, Amy Dixon, Mary Lee Sargent, and Arnie Albert went before the Concord City Council with a presentation.

The Rebellion, known last year as the Ruckus, is part of the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA). The Rebellion is a self-funded team currently looking for both sponsors and new tryouts. The players they currently have are a mixture of veterans and newcomers, all working hard for a chance to prove themselves.
Store owner Keith Marcoux Sr. said they had received an eviction notice from the mall’s management due to a clause in their lease that could force them out at any time. Any business in the mall on a short-term lease can be supplanted at any time by any other business willing to sign on to a long-term lease. This was the case for Keke’s Dream, which for some time has been the only LGBTQ+ business in New Hampshire.
Those who would deny transgender rights also deny human rights. Those who accept transgender rights are those who accept human rights. The state legislature, if it must do anything, should take steps to protect a vulnerable and disenfranchised group- one already defined as a federally protected class. Those who take it upon themselves to revoke the freedom of one group have the power to revoke freedoms for all.
As cars lined up in front of one other for an event, and as police directed traffic on Elm Street, activists and members of the community gathered to celebrate International Working Women’s Day. The day had officially fallen on March 8, yet the day was celebrated on March 11, a Saturday, instead.

At the time, Louisa was living in a rooming house on the West Side funded by Southern New Hampshire Services. The landlord had filed multiple eviction cases against her in what appeared to be retaliation for wrongs real or imagined.

The Maple Street location had previously been packed full of products, such that there was hardly any room to walk. The new location has considerably more space, which it seems will soon get filled up just as quickly – if owner Chris Proulx’s expectations are anything to go by.
Despite a temporary reprieve with an influx of emergency funding last week, changing circumstances in the state may soon cause homelessness to increase, even as services and volunteers struggle to meet the needs of the community.
Activists organized in Veterans Park ahead of Tuesday’s scheduled Board of Aldermen meeting in protest of an ordinance aimed at the homeless pertaining to camping, shopping carts and bicycles in public parks.
A police car parked sideways on Lowell Street on the morning of October 15th blocking traffic while tables with red cloths over them waited for patrons to arrive. Burgers sizzled on a grill outside, sending plumes of smoke into the air. Placards on the sidewalk with oversized proclamations by Governor Chris Sununu, Senator Maggie Hassan, and Senator Jeanne Shaheen recognized an accomplishment few businesses of any kind can match: the Red Arrow Diner had been in business for 100 years.
Cashin began his service in March of 1999, rising through the ranks as he went from lieutenant to captain to deputy chief to, finally, chief. He comes off as personable, professional, and knowledgeable about his work and the community as a whole.
