Alderman Ervin on Chicago's Newly Finalized Ward Map
|
|
 |
Greetings!
The Chicago Ward Remap, based on the 2020 Census, is now final. Alderman Ervin, Chair of Chicago City Council's Black Caucus, successfully led this effort through negotiations and compromise, arriving at a 43-7 vote in favor of the Chicago United Map promoted by the Black Caucus, and thus avoiding a Jun 28th ballot referendum.
Alderman Ervin returns this Saturday, May 21, 2022, to provide a review of the Chicago United Map Compromise Plan ( Here), along with insights into negotiations and other observations.
Please join us for this important conversation.
Respectfully,
COAL Board of Directors
"The time to work seriously and collectively, to improve the state of our Community, is upon us..."
Let's Continue the Work

What We Believe
The Coalition of African American Leaders believes that it is important to examine the critical issues confronting the African American community where injustice, inequality and the absence of access and opportunity continue to prevail, thereby negatively impacting us as a people.
COAL is an assemblage that advocates and organizes for appropriate and responsible public policy change, system behavior change and equality of opportunity. We aim to achieve for all of our people the fullness of the life experience without any form of racism or exclusion as a deterrent.
We believe we must prepare ourselves for the opportunity of this full participation, thereby achieving the necessary education and training to participate.
