Fears exist that Mayor Brandon Johnson will fail to rein in the expected protesters at the Democratic National Convention this August.
’s roots in activism, some fear that protesters could take center stage at the party’s flagship event.
Johnson said he is committed to safety and will “move with precision” to keep everyone safe. He said he will allow activists to peacefully protest, and he won’t commit to clearing overnight encampments, such as the ones that have sprouted up on college campuses across the country.. “If people are involved in an encampment that has put people in harm’s way, then it is my job to create a secure environment so that people are not in harm’s way.
“The issue is going to be: What is the mayor going to say and defend that is done outside of the permitted restrictions?” Democratic Alderman Ray Lopez told NBC News. “Is he going to defend people who protest and destroy property without permits? Or who are causing chaos just for the sake of chaos? Is he going to defend it, or is he going to speak out against that?”
