In anticipation of Monday's Community Advisory Committee vote, with 4 members committed to voting against the casino, we are scheduling a farewell event.

We'd like to say that it was nice knowing you, but it really wasn't.

Today was a pivotal day in the casino opposition.

Three Community Advisory Committee members issued statements against the casino!

Thank you to Councilman Brannan, Senator Scarcella-Spanton, and Brooklyn Borough President Reynoso as well as Assemblyman Brook-Krasny for your support!

And thank you to everyone who's given their voice, time, and effort to this fight!

It's over. We slayed the beast!

We can't express our excitement!

Senator Scarcella-Spanton has announced that she will be voting no on the casino. Her vote along with Assemblyman Brook-Krasny's and Councilman Brannan's takes us to three no votes.

The casino is DEAD!

Stay tuned for a full announcement.

HUGE NEWS!!!!

Councilman Brannan has issued a statement in the Brooklyn Paper:

"I inherited the casino proposal and made it a priority to stay impartial, ensuring every voice was heard and the process remained fair and free from my influence or interference. But now, after 10 hours of public hearings and thousands of emails, it’s time for my verdict: when it comes to The Coney casino application I will be voting NO and I urge my colleagues on the Community Advisory Committee to do the same."

We're coming down to the wire and have two concrete no votes. One more is all that's needed.

Thank you all for your continued support!
