Statement from Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson on recent violence in the Austin community

Silence DoGood - December 6, 2022

“Austin is where I live, and a community that I represent, but it’s also an area that has long endured the impact of generations of disinvestment. Schools have been closed, along with mental health centers, grocery stores and pharmacies, and in that wake is the constant threat of gun violence. " #BrandonJohnson
