Dear Friends,
It is coming down to the wire and we NEED YOUR HELP to win the fight against Mohegan Sun setting up shop in our backyard.
First, the race is on to Repeal the Casino Deal. We are in urgent need of help collecting signatures this weekend and next week so PLEASE email Darek Barcikowski - Repeal the Deal Statewide Campaign Manager at repealcampaignmanager@gmail.com or call him at 617-869-0601 to help out. You can also email Brian Gannon at briangannon@briangannonboston.com. Even two hours of your time collecting signatures will make a tremendous difference! Donations are also very much in need.
Second, on Tuesday, June 24 the Massachusetts Gaming Commission will hold their final public hearing from 4 to 8 PM at Revere High School, 101 School Street. With a decision from the commission expected in late August or early September, this meeting is absolutely critical. Here is what you can do to help:
  • Join us on Tuesday, June 24 and show your NEC pride! If you can attend, RSVP to noeastiecasino@gmail.com.
  • Sign up to speak ASAP. Anyone can do this! We will help with talking points but we need the maximum number of speakers to sign up and show our strength. Please send an email requesting to speak to mgccomments@state.ma.us with the subject line "Request to Address the Commission/Mohegan Sun MA." You can also send written comments to the same address under separate cover.
  • Do you have contacts at any Boston-area or Revere organizations who may be able to join in our fight and possibly speak at the hearing? If so, please let us know. We would be grateful for support from any organizations, e.g. public health, human services or environmental.
  • We will be holding a meeting on Wednesday June 18 from 6-8 PM (Location TBD) to provide an update on strategy and make signs to hold outside the June 24 hearing. If you have sign-making materials, please bring them!
Thank you for your help and support. We look forward to seeing you on June 18th and 24th!
THE NEC TEAM
