Your Heroic Neighbors On Trial
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. Learn more about predatory gambling.
Last September, 14 Philly residents lined the entrance to the SugarHouse construction site on the Delaware River and refused to move. Today, Tuesday, Feb. 16, these individuals are standing before a judge and defending their First Amendment rights.

Amidst more than two dozen Philadelphians calling out “revoke, don’t rebid,” the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s enforcement arm today filed a complaint to revoke the license of Foxwoods casino in South Philadelphia. Despite its direct impact on citizens of Philadelphia, questions from the public were neither solicited nor accepted by the board.
Foxwoods will have 30 days to respond to the PGCB’s complaint, at which point additional hearings will be scheduled, from which public input will continue to be excluded.
