Say No to the Coney Island Casino

A billionaire developer wants to replace…

The Coney Island you love

with

Casino Island

A billionaire developer is trying to replace Coney Island with a massive casino, hotel, and convention center that would cast shadows over the amusement area. The Casino would remove almost half the rides and put the others at risk of disappearing. Soon the only rides left could be the Wonder Wheel and the Cyclone. Everything else could be gone.

The future of Coney Island USA, the non-profit arts organization that sponsors the Mermaid Parade could be put at risk, and the Mermaid Parade, one of New York’s most iconic and beloved events could be gone forever!

But you can stop this.
You can save Coney Island!

These six politicians will decide if the Casino gets built in Coney Island. They will each appoint one member of the board that decides on the Casino. Call or write each of them to say you are against the Casino in Coney Island and will not vote for any politician who does not vote against the Casino. Leave a voicemail if there is no answer.

This is a suggested sample of what you could say when you call each politician... or just tell them how you feel.

Hello,
My name is _____________. I am calling to let (name of politician you are calling) know that I am strongly opposed to the building of a Casino in Coney Island. A Casino would destroy the very reason people come to Coney Island. 40 and 20 story tall Casino buildings that cast shadows over the amusement area should not be allowed to be built in Coney Island. Please know that I will not vote for any politician who is not against the construction of a Casino in Coney Island.
Thank you.
