Hi Neighbors,
A Boston casino, with its big promises and flashy artist's renderings, is going full-steam ahead -- unless we step in and do something about it. We, the people, can say NO to this. The people of East Boston and Revere will have an opportunity to vote on whether we want this, and we're convinced that given all the information, our neighborhoods will reject this. The rest of the city will feel the impacts of this casino as well. But we have to get the word out. Here are two ways to do that in the next few days. If you oppose this casino, or at least have serious questions about it, please make every effort to make it to one or both of these events:
I accidentally left off the all-important location of Monday's Community Casino Meeting:
East Boston Social Centers, 2nd fl
68 Central Square
East BostonMap
6-8 p.m.
(note that the meeting is NOT at Sacred Heart Church like past meetings)
Please be there on time, as we will be starting promptly at 6. Bring someone who needs to hear the truth about the casino. Thanks again for your support!
Do you live in East Boston or Revere and want a yard or window sign ("casiNO" or "Vote No Casino")? Reply with your name, address, and phone #, and we'll drop one at your house!

Orient Heights Visibility/Stand-out
Saturday, June 23, 10 a.m.
Orient Heights in East Boston
will be ground zero for all the crime, traffic, bankruptcy, addiction, and other
impacts a casino will have on our city. We've had solid crowds at both of our
visibilities so far (see the attached photo of your neighbors standing out at
Day Square), and this Saturday's visibility is the culmination of our visibility
work so far. We'll also will hopefully be sending a few people out to flyer
Orient Heights and talk with neighbors about the casino's impacts. As always, 10
a.m. sharp, slush/refreshments will be served, it's family friendly, we'll have
signs, etc. See you there!Saturday, June 23, 10 a.m.
Community Casino
Meeting
Monday, June 25, 6-8 p.m.
We've heard Suffolk Downs/Caesars' plans, and it's still a bad
deal. Now it's our turn. Get the info the developers, politicians, and local
media aren't giving you. This is an open call to casino skeptics/opponents from
all over Boston, Revere, Chelsea, Winthrop, Everett, Nahant, and any other
affected community -- a collective rallying cry that we will not lie down and
take this! Feel free to bring neighbors and friends who are on the fence. We
will go over the casino approval and voting process, take a closer look at the
specific proposal Suffolk Downs/Caesars has put on the table, and hear the ways
in which you can help the cause. If you've missed our other activities and
meetings so far, come to this one. Have your voice heard! Monday, June 25, 6-8 p.m.
