- Help us put casinos on trial tomorrow
Posted by Casino-Free Philly on February 15, 2010
Tomorrow is the day. Please join us for a rally and march at 9:00 AM tomorrow, when two dozen of your neighbors will be in a Philadelphia criminal court, talking about why they put their bodies on the line to keep predatory gambling out of our city.
Tomorrow we will put casinos on trial. We anticipate a good media presence, so we hope you can be a part of this historic rally and march.
On Trial for a Casino-Free City: Tuesday, Feb. 16, 9:00 AM (court starts at 10:00)
Meet at the Arch Street United Methodist Church, SE corner of Broad & Arch Streets, Philadelphia
If you haven't done so already, please watch our video and share it with your friends and neighbors. You can also help support us by spreading the word about us on social networks of which you're a part, by visiting our profiles on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and YouTube.
We'll continue to increase the pressure on casinos, preventing them from opening when we can and shutting them down when we must. This trial represents another milestone in a five-year journey of citizens reclaiming their own power, direction and destiny. Fourteen people may be on trial, but we know every Philadelphian's body is on the line when it comes to predatory gambling.
We'll continue to find creative ways to put financial pressure on casinos and casino investors — but if we're to truly bankrupt casinos, we need your financial support as well.
We hope to see you tomorrow, as we put the casinos on trial!
P.S. Can't make it in person but want to read updates as they happen? Looking to encourage distant friends to join you in your fight for a casino-free Philadelphia? Our Twitter and Facebook pages will be continuously updated throughout the day tomorrow, as will this website.
