The time for action is now

This is it. The action we've been training for over the past three years. Not a practice site reclamation or direct action training at a casino site — this is the real deal.

On the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 29, we will arrive at the proposed SugarHouse site on the Delaware River to show Neil Bluhm that we will not give up. (Read the press release.) We are committed to stopping casinos in Philadelphia and to shutting down any that open.

RSVP now to attend the action training on Sunday.

Casinos in Pennsylvania were legalized in the middle of the night, on the Fourth of July weekend in 2004. Bureaucrats and politicians taking contributions from the gambling industry have denied us the right to be involved in the public process, stripping us of our right to vote — because they know we would not support casinos in our city.

It's time for us to put our bodies on the line to demonstrate our resolve to stand strong for what we believe.

On Sept. 29, our direct action will consist of two components. One group of people will take nonviolent direct action at the site, while another group will show solidarity in the form of a rally nearby, but within sight. A training for the action will take place on Sunday, Sept. 27, from 12 to 4 pm at the No Slots Spot, at 718 Market Street.

RSVP for the action training now.

Now is the time to make calls to your friends and turn them out for the action and training. We need everyone on board. If you can come by the No Slots Spot office any day this week to make phone calls, do media work, prep materials, or anything else, please call us at 215-238-1711. We need you!
