Many considered the city's actions and mayor tantamount to censorship—and at a moment when thousands of Chicagoans already feel the mayor is ignoring protests against police violence and racial injustice, this is striking a nerve with chicago and national music goers.

In a statement, the Mayor launched the Boards of Change project to encourage participation in the Census and other civic engagement activities that promote and advance democracy for all.

"The 'Millennium Park at Home' virtual concert series was created as a platform to showcase local music, support musicians, and engage audiences at this difficult time," the statement continues, "however these City platforms should not be used for political purposes."
