Dear Neighbor,


This is not just a moment—it’s a turning point. And we need you there.


On Monday, May 4, we are coming together outside the Walgreens at 8628 S. Cottage Grove to do more than speak out—we are laying out our next steps as a community.


We will begin gathering at 9:30 AM with light breakfast bites, and the press conference will start promptly at 10:00 AM.


Let’s be clear: we are not waiting on corporate decisions to define our future. We are coming with a plan—real, actionable next steps to protect access to medication, essential services, and long-term stability in our ward.


This is where we organize. This is where we apply pressure. This is where we move forward—together.


Details:

  • Gathering: 9:30 AM (breakfast bites available)  
  • Press Conference: 10:00 AM  
  • Location: Walgreens, 8628 S. Cottage Grove  
  • Date: Monday, May 4, 2026  


Show up early. Bring your voice. Bring your neighbors. We are not reacting—we are setting the agenda for what happens next.


Be there.


William Hall  

Alderman, 6th Ward
