Irit will create five short Public Service Announcements (PSAs) with the Multi-Community Alliance (MCA), a coalition of 25 groups organizing against casino development in their neighborhoods of Nicetown, Tioga, East Falls, Southwest Germantown and West Allegheny, to provide media support for this organizing campaign. Using locally produced music, found sound, and interviews with MCA members, the PSAs will tell a visual story by the people most impacted by the potential development. The videos provide MCA with an educational and organizing tool to motivate community members to take action and inform those in power about the negative effects of this development.
