Wednesday: Let's bankrupt SugarHouse

This Wednesday, advocates for a better Philadelphia will meet for one purpose: to develop plans to bankrupt SugarHouse Casino.

Will you join us?

Planning for SugarHouse

6PM, this Wednesday, Aug. 25

No Slots Spot, 718 Market Street

RSVP for this event now.

Earlier this year, we confronted potential Foxwoods investor Steve Wynn in Harrisburg, voicing our strong opposition to his predatory casino in South Philly. Just minutes after we showed up, the Wynn company stock began to decline.

You probably remember what happened next: Wynn reconsidered the wisdom of his investment, and bailed.

On that day in March, we threatened Steve Wynn with bankruptcy. And we'll be doing the very same thing to SugarHouse and its investors on opening day — and every day after.

There are many ways for you to be involved in the fight against SugarHouse, like signing up to be on our community mural. But we want to give you a chance to be active from the beginning in planning for SugarHouse's demise.

Sign up for the planning meeting at 6PM on Wednesday.

Our mission to oppose predatory gambling doesn't stop when SugarHouse opens its doors. Every day we show up to advocate for a better Philadelphia, we cause more and more investors for SugarHouse — and Foxwoods — to reconsider their mistake.

SugarHouse is already opening with many fewer slots than originally planned, and with sustained pressure, we can kick Foxwoods out for good. We're serious about causing SugarHouse's stain on our city to be as brief as possible. Every investor we chase off will hasten the casino's closure — and prove once and for all that our communities' power is stronger than their greed.

So we hope you'll join us on Wednesday — and bring a friend or neighbor! — as we plan for SugarHouse's bankruptcy. This is our moment, let's claim it!

P.S. Every dollar you contribute helps convince an investor's dollar to go somewhere other than predatory gambling! Please consider helping to support our work.
