A proposal by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to limit demonstrations outside private residences has raised a contentious question: What steps can cities take to limit protests without infringing on people's First Amendment rights?
Wu filed a proposed ordinance to place limits on demonstrations that target homes after months of loud, early morningThe protestors are upset over a mandate that city workers be vaccinated against COVID-19, as well as vaccine requirements to enter restaurants and some other businesses in Boston.
Scott said she is sorry about the disturbance to Wu's neighbors. But she said the protesters need to target the Mayor's home because it's the only way they can get her to hear their concerns. “When it is specifically intended to disrupt people's sleep, to crush people's spirits, it really verges more on harassment than on speech," Wu recently told WBUR outside her home.
"If we go outside the house, we're confronted with the most vicious attack signs [against] the mayor, who is not only our mayor but a friend, a neighbor, a mother and a daughter in this neighborhood," Lev said." because she is Asian and a woman. That includes City Council President Ed Flynn, the son of former Mayor Ray Flynn, who said his father and the two white, male mayors who succeeded him all faced protests at their homes.
