LOS ANGELES—Two days after activists protesting vaccine mandates showed up at the homes of two Los Angeles City Council members, the panel on Aug. 31 directed city attorneys to draw up an emergency ordinance to prohibit protests within 300 feet of the target’s residence.

The motion, which was introduced by Council President Nury Martinez using a rarely used City Council rule, comes after a protester at a Santa Monica rally on Sunday shared the addresses of council members and encouraged people to go to their homes if they vote yes on an ordinance to require at least partial proof of vaccination before entering most indoor public spaces.
