<div><br>
</div>
<div>Chairs and Committee members at CCGA held a vote on the motion (which passed) to join the coalition for the referendum and lend our efforts and voices to get this referendum passed. We hope our joining with the rest of the coalition is in time to have CCGA read
in at the upcoming Cook County Board Meeting where the Commissioners vote to move the referendum forward, July 27, 2021.</div>
