Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Chicago police officials on Thursday announced a public safety and engagement plan for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
Johnson said a $2.5 million investment from the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities' eighth annual Chicago Fund is part of the plan.
The public-private partnership will support violence prevention and youth outreach efforts across the city by funding the work of 253 grassroots organizations working across 24 communities on the South and West sides, beginning with engaging young people in activities during Memorial Day weekend and during the gap between the end of the school year and the beginning of Chicago Park District programming, city officials said.
"With Memorial Day marking the start of summer in Chicago, it's crucial that our city puts forward a comprehensive public safety strategy, including vital investments in our city's young people," Johnson said. "My administration's top priority is building a city where every single resident feels safe, and in order to do that, we need everyone at the table.
