A group of Harvard University professors and religious leaders are slated to join forces with casino opponents today in a united push behind the November gaming repeal referendum.
"I haven't heard anybody saying they're praying for a casino. I've heard a bunch of people saying they're praying against a casino," said Sunha Kim, a co-founder of Stand For Democracy, a group that's emerged from Neighbors of East Boston, an organization of neighborhood religious leaders that helped defeat the proposed Suffolk Downs casino last November.
"The religious component of the anti-casino campaign has never disappeared," Kim said. "It's always been at work since the victory in East Boston, and it's going to be strong going into this November."
Stand For Democracy scheduled a press conference for this morning at Harvard. Kim has developed a network of nearly 500 churches across the state as well as several Harvard professors, including Harvey Cox, David Carrasco, David Holland, Richard Parker and Marshall Ganz, a key grass-roots organizer of President Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
The Chelsea Collaborative, a group of community organizers, is the fiscal sponsor for Stand For Democracy, lending its legal and tax-exempt status to the group, Kim said.
