Why Volunteer?

I've met some of the most incredibly dedicated and passionate people. We've reminded ourselves that Philadelphians really do have the power to move mountains! -Shirley, Queen Village

Because I want to save my neighborhood – Zoë, Fishtown

I volunteer because I've researched this issue and I truly believe that the casinos would do more harm to our neighborhoods than any of the financial good they promise. I also believe that the process that has
brought the casinos to Philadelphia is corrupt and has excluded the voice of the people at every turn. I feel we have an obligation as a democratic society to stand up to this process. I also think what CFP does is pretty cool. - Huu, South Philly

What can I do?

• neighbor-to-neighbor outreach: we’ll give you materials and you can walk through your own neighborhood and talk to people about the impact of casinos on our city
• host a house party – invite friends and neighbors to come over to learn more about the casinos and what we can do as a city to stop them.
• invite us to come speak to a group in your community about the costs of casinos
• plan and participate in creative direct action
• volunteer in the office
• lobby city council and state representatives
