We're a group of ministers in East Boston - representing various denominations and multiple congregations - who believe our community deserves better than a casino.

 

We disagree on some areas of doctrine - and we honor those differences - but we wholeheartedly agree that God has something  better for Eastie than a casino.

 

We’ve come together because we’re for our neighborhoods and we’re for our children. Because we’re for safe communities and we're for local businesses. Because we're for whole lives and we're for wise living.

 

Casinos increase:

crime

addiction

traffic

pollution

bankruptcy

insurance rates

and numerous other harms.
