New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is planning to meet with organizers of the protests over the death of Eric Garner.
Administration officials confirmed that de Blasio, a Democrat who took office in January, will meet with members of the Justice League at City Hall on Friday.
The Justice League held a small protest Monday outside the mayor’s home, Gracie Mansion.
It also has organized larger events across the city since a Staten Island grand jury declined to indict a white police officer for the chokehold death of Garner, who is black.
Most protests have been peaceful. Two police officers were injured last week during a demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge.
A police union criticized de Blasio for meeting with the protesters in light of the violence.
