Thanks to friends, neighbors, communities and volunteer marshals, we had a safe and fun March Against the Casino and Public Hearing!

Our Queens reps backed a casino at Citi Field, but they still don’t have a license. We need to keep up pressure so the state doesn’t grant one.

What can you do?

IT'S HERE! TODAY!

Our reps sold us out and tried to silence us. Online trolls threatened us. But we will not be silenced or intimidated. We will stand up for Queens, our neighborhoods, our communities, our friends and elders and children.

MARCH AGAINST THE CITI FIELD CASINO
starting at 1pm at Corona Plaza
marching to the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park for a People's Hearing on the casino

Anonymous trolls threatened violence against the family-friendly March Against the Casino.

It's been reported, so there may be more police, and also safety + deescalation support. Please do what feels safe for you.

But we won’t be intimidated. This march will be peaceful: full of music, bubbles, kids, and joy. Not a place for hate; a place for community power.

🚶‍♀️ Sunday Oct 5 · 1 PM
📍 Start: Corona Plaza → end at the Unisphere for a people’s hearing at 2:30 PM

Come stand against Steve Cohen’s casino.

🚫🎰 NO CASINO IN OUR COMMUNITY! 🎰🚫

This Sunday, neighbors from Flushing, Corona, Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst and beyond are coming together to say LOUD AND CLEAR:

Public land is for the PEOPLE — not for billionaire casinos.

We refuse to gamble away our:

✅ Parks
✅ Housing
✅ Transit access
✅ Local small businesses
✅ Future

A casino will not bring “opportunity.” It will bring traffic, addiction, displacement, and harm to working-class immigrant neighborhoods that already carry more than our share.

📢 Join us in the streets!

🗓 Sunday October 5 at 1pm
📍 Corona Plaza
🚶‍♀️ Marching to the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park

Bring your friends, your kids, your drums, your signs, your VOICE.
This is our home and we’re fighting for it.

Queens for the people, not for profit!
