Today the community stood united in opposition to the proposed casino at Citi Field. The promise of economic development and jobs is a mirage. We are sick and tired of the lies and corruption. We want a plan that addresses real community needs.

Activists rallied in Flushing on Friday to protest efforts by billionaire NY Mets owner Steve Cohen to put a casino in their community. The benefits of a gambling casino are typically far outweighed by the harm they inflict on working class communities. Photos: @_martykirchner

Phoenix Meadows will rise and so will we. We demand Jessica Ramos REJECT Cohen’s casino plan, to REJECT parkland alienation, and SUPPORT Phoenix Meadows—a community created plan made by us and for us. #flushing #corona #queens #phoenixmeadows

A huge crowd outside the hall of science for the town hall, many union members who told me they were told to come out to support the project. Mike Tsagakis is in the painters union and came out because “jobs are good for everyone.”

It’s always hard to tell where the actual support is since a lot of it at the town halls I’ve been to comes from people being paid by Steve Cohen entities. This person works with a consultant on the project and she is handing out these signs

It feels a bit like David vs Goliath with the two proposals. Steve Cohen and companies have thrown a lot of money around Queens, hired dozens of people, and done a lot of outreach to gain support. The Phoenix Meadows proposal is very grassroots in response to Met Park proposal
