CHICAGO (CBS)-- Dozens of Chicago political activists are protesting what they call a "power steal" from the incoming mayor and city council.

Current council members previously voted on a new committee structure and council rules in a push to make itself more independent from the mayor's office. 

The controversial move has been sparking outrage from some city leaders...with only weeks away until mayor-elect Brandon Johnson and several new aldermen are sworn in.

A protest will happen outside of City Hall Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.
