Casino-Free Philadelphia Details
Casino-Free Philadelphia's mission is to stop casinos from coming to Philadelphia and close any that open. The social and economic costs of predatory gambling are plainly apparent from an industry reliant on addiction to survive.Casinos cost jobs. The Philadelphia oversight commission run by the state of Pennsylvania estimates that casinos in Philadelphia will result in a net loss of jobs; other studies have demonstrated that casinos destroy twice as many jobs as they create. Thus, the sooner SugarHouse is shut down — and Foxwoods abandons its plans — the better for Philadelphia job-seekers.We are not opposed to gambling, only to the predatory practices used to purposely generate addiction in our city. We are opposed to all casinos, anywhere in our city; we do not accept money from any "rival casinos" and indeed reject any donations from anyone employed by or involved with the casino industry.Casino-Free Philadelphia started June 1, 2006. We believe in strengthening the power of the people through grassroots organizing, direct action, and sustained public involvement.
