Your contribution will go to Casino-Free Philadelphia, through our fiscal sponsor, the New Society Educational Foundation. 100% of your donation is tax-deductible!
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY BY DEC. 31 AND WIN CASINO-FREE WEAR!
Tell other Philadelphians and supporters of a casino-free city why you care about this issue! Click the green JOIN CAUSE button if you're not already a member, then INVITE FRIENDS by Dec. 31!
The person who invites the most people who donate will win a FULL SET of Casino-Free Philadelphia wear -- three t-shirts ("We The People Reject Casinos," "You Won't Prey On Us" and "Bankrupt Casinos Before They Bankrupt Us") and a Casino-Free button!
REMEMBER: It's the NUMBER of donors you inspire, not the total amount! So if your friends only have $10 to give, that's great -- and gets us $10 closer to a casino-free city!

Casino-Free Philadelphia's mission is to stop casinos from coming to Philadelphia and close any that open. The social and economic costs of casinos are plainly apparent from an industry reliant on addiction to survive.
WHY WE'RE SUCCESSFUL: BECAUSE OF YOU!
It's clear that our community power is having a concrete impact on predatory gambling in our city.
SugarHouse has had to plan for a much smaller casino than it originally wanted, and Foxwoods has had to go begging for investors, showing it may never be financially stable enough to break ground. If these casinos ever open, we expect them to face bankruptcy in short order.
We know it's only because of all of us working together that casinos have been held off for this long.
WHAT WE'RE WORKING FOR: A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
We have a vision of Philadelphia without predatory gambling used to balance its budget. A community that comes together around sustainable economic development, and commits to providing essential social services. A city that refuses to be sold for the benefit of distant billionaires.
