AALDEF joins the Save Chinatown Coalition on Saturday, September 7, 2024 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET.

After two long years, the fight to Save Chinatown and stop 76 Place is reaching a fever pitch. The Sixers owners' timeline is running out, and it's up to us to stop the City Council from making a big mistake in Center City.

经过两年的漫长岁月，拯救唐人街和阻止 76 Place开发项目 的斗争已达到白热化。76 人队老板的时间不多了，我们必须阻止市议会在市中心犯下大错。

Come out for the No Arena march and rally on Saturday, September 7. We need you there.

9 月 7 日星期六，参加“反篮球馆”大游行和集会。我们需要你的参与。

This is a fight to Save Chinatown, the last working-class community of color in Center City. But it's also bigger than any one neighborhood.

这是一场拯救唐人街的斗争，唐人街是中心城最后一个有色人种工人阶级社区。但它也比任何一个社区都更大。

• Sports arenas have a long and ugly history of exploiting communities of color.
• 篮球馆对有色人种群体的剥削有着悠久而丑陋的历史。
• Arenas rely on low-wage, part-time, seasonal service workers—jobs that keep Black and brown folks stuck in a cycle of poverty.
• 篮球馆依赖低工资、兼职、季节性的服务人员—这些工作使黑人和棕色人种陷入贫困循环。
• The billionaires behind the 76 Place plan to not pay property taxes—so the city would be giving up up to $270M in tax revenue we need for our schools.
• 76 Place 背后的亿万富翁计划不缴纳财产税，因此该市将放弃我们学校所需的高达 2.7 亿美元的税收收入。

The truth is, if one neighborhood can be steamrolled, anyone can. Every Philadelphian deserves a say in the decisions impacting us and our neighborhoods.

事实是，如果一个社区可以被摧毁，那么任何一个社区都可以是下一个目标。每个费城人都应该对影响我们和我们社区的决策有发言权。

There has never been one arena that has transformed a city for the better, and their impact is clear: Developers prey on neighborhoods of color, while regular people suffer the negative impacts. Now Philly has a chance to take those lessons learned and do better.

从来没有一个体育竞技场能将一座城市变得更好，其影响显而易见：开发商掠夺有色人种社区，而普通民众则遭受负面影响。现在费城有机会吸取这些教训并做得更好。

Join us on September 7 to tell City Council No Arena, no exploitation in the heart of our city! This fight is winnable—but not without you.

9 月 7 日加入我们，告诉市议会，我们城市的中心拒绝篮球竞技馆，拒绝被剥削！这场斗争是可以打赢的——但没有你们就不能打赢。
