Say NO to Monopoly Life-Sized in New York

The Issue

We must stop the arrival of Monopoly Life Sized in New York. A proposal is underway to open this attraction, and taking action against it is crucial. Monopoly represents capitalist ideals that many find objectionable, and its gameplay may not appeal to everyone. Moreover, we already face real-life challenges where individuals struggle to make ends meet and find affordable housing, making the idea of a life-sized version of such a game unsettling.

We already have a life-sized version of this game where poor people get their money taken away and it’s hard to find a decent place to live, it’s called life. 

TimeOut NY article

In the heart of New York, we must stand united against the encroachment of Monopoly Life-Sized! This audacious scheme threatens to perpetuate the very ideologies that divide our society, glorifying a twisted representation of capitalism that disregards the hardships faced by the less fortunate. Let us not allow our beloved city to become a playground for an oversized, soulless game that belittles the struggles of those who strive for a better life. New York is a vibrant tapestry of cultures and dreams, and we should focus on fostering unity, empathy, and inclusivity, not embracing an overblown parody of the challenges faced by ordinary people. Together, let's protect the essence of our great city and ensure that its values remain untainted by this unwelcome spectacle.
