Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's Memorial Day safety plan emphasizes community involvement.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has unveiled a safety plan for Memorial Day weekend, which includes canceling officers' days off to get more police on the streets. The plan also involves putting more officers on public transit and in business areas, as well as conducting bag checks at beaches and Millennium Park. The city has a history of violence during the holiday weekend, with last year seeing 51 people shot, nine of them fatally. Johnson has promised to confront the root causes of violence by pledging to make $1 billion worth of "investments in people."
