Who We Are

- A 501c3 non-profit based in Washington, DC, we are a national government reform network of individuals and organizations from across the U.S.
- We believe in improving the lives of the American people, freeing us from the lower standard of living, exploitation, and fraud that commercialized gambling spreads.
- We are the most diverse organization in the United States, one in which progressives work side-by-side with conservatives to improve the common good.

What We Stand For

- We believe everyone in America should have a fair opportunity to get ahead and improve their economic standing.
- We believe every person has intrinsic value and no one is expendable.
- We believe that a good society depends on the values of honesty, concern for others, mutual trust, self-discipline, sacrifice, and a work ethic that connects effort and reward.
- We believe no agency or entity of government should depend on predatory gambling to fund its activities.
- If you believe what we believe, sign An American Declaration on Government and Gambling today.

We continue to grow a national movement that educates the general public and holds leaders accountable to the realities of economics and the principles of justice. Specific programs and plans are explained in a previous section.

ACTION #1
Become a bottom heavy network by strengthening existing grassroots individuals and organizations and engaging more people with the lived experience of the problem to be at the front. This will be accomplished through the #KnowOurNames campaign, the 2021 national convention, and personalized meetings with key leaders in battleground d states.

ACTION #2
Provide persuasive, news-worthy, up-to-date information to the grassroots, opinion leaders, and media about the scale of the harm that commercialized gambling has inflicted upon citizens, their families, and society as a whole.
We will distribute the information by working through social media as well as working with partner groups such as those involved with child welfare, improving mobility out of poverty, public health, domestic violence, the well-being of senior citizens, homelessness, and communities of faith.

ACTION #3
Coordinate and support the efforts of a wide spectrum of partner organizations and individuals to help them engage in coordinated work at local, state, and national levels, all with the intent to cut gambling losses by 50% over the next eight years. There will be a focus on over a dozen reform proposals, beginning with safeguards for children from advertising, video games, and online marketing.
