Anti-Casino Circus, June 25 in Philadelphia! The GI resistance movement had the Oleo Strut coffeehouse, the gay rights movement had the Castro camera shop, and now the anti-casino movement has the No Slots Spot. Casino-Free Philadelphia and the No Casino in the Heart of Our City Coalition are launching a joint office at 718 Market Street — which just happens to be located a stone's throw from the proposed Foxwoods site.

Since the political process for forcing slots parlors on Philadelphia has been a sham from the beginning, we thought we’d hold our own grand opening circus — to shine a light on the mediocre performances our local politicians have been staging.

There will be circus acts, the likes of which have never before been seen in Philadelphia, including:

The Incredible Two-Faced Mayor!
The Invisible Plan!
High-Flying Casino Economics — without a net!
City Council Contortions!
The Foxwoods Site Shell Game!
The Amazing Shrinking Democracy!
And featuring numerous Daring Feats of Doublespeak!

You won't believe your eyes! For the first time in public view, see the sleight of hand, magical thinking and spectacle as our city leaders try to bring slots of Philly!

We'll have cotton candy, games of change, and plenty of people from around Philadelphia who share your vision of a city safe from predatory gambling.

RSVPs are not required, but you can sign up below for an automatic reminder email the day before the event. Please invite your friends!
