The Fort Wayne DSA is opposed to commercial gambling on principal as it is an extractive business model that doesn’t add value to a community, exploits the desperation of working people, exacerbates existing social ailments like addiction and domestic abuse, and pits local entertainment and hospitality venues against a large corporate backed venue.

In service of this opposition the Fort Wayne DSA is working to oppose a proposed casino move into North East Indiana as we believe that it would be harmful to the people, community, and economy of the region.
