Leaders
from both Stand For Democracy and Don Berwick for Governor campaigns
met last week to discuss the repeal of the 2011 Expanded Gaming Act.
Both organizations have agreed to work collaboratively towards repealing
the commonwealth’s casino law and promoting Berwick’s stance as the
only candidate opposed to casinos and supporting the repeal. “We have
taken a close look at all of the gubernatorial candidates and their
stance on casinos in Massachusetts. Don Berwick’s position against
casinos is the only one in line with that of Stand For Democracy”, said
Pedro Morales, one of the founders of Stand For Democracy.
Stand
For Democracy is an organization that emanates from the successful 2013
anti-casino campaign in East Boston. “Don was inspired by the ability
of grassroots activists to take on powerful corporate interests in the
East Boston casino referendum. It is exciting to collaborate with some
of the leaders of that movement, and we look forward to working together
to promote Don’s position on this crucial issue around the state,” said
David Marsh of the Berwick campaign. A schedule of joint events will be
released shortly.
