But Dominique Moore from @empowereddc.bsky.social opposes the expanded curfew.

"We need to provide alternative solutions. It’s [now] basically, 'Get out and go home.' To tell them [that] is not a great answer, because some of them don’t want to. Their friends are their community," she says.

Tara Martin, mother of Dalaneo Martin, killed by a Park Police officer two years ago, opposes the curfew.

"The curfew may silence a street for a few hours, but it does not heal the pain that drives our kids outside. Our kids need opportunity, not punishment," she says.

Projected federal job losses? Subsidize the circuses! Who will pay for the bread? That's tomorrow's problem!

Slight uptick in crime (or perception of)? Attack the decades long criminal code rewrite! Youth curfews! Is there evidence they work? How dare you ask that! Do you think we should do NOTHING?

Some restaurants close? Is it actually a trend? Do we have data? No time for that! Repeal the last thing!

Thanks for this explanation.

How did it get back on the agenda?

I thought Chairman Mendelson said the emergency curfew legislation was out of order & pulled it from the agenda. CM Pinto only introduced it last night, which seems to violate Council Rule 424 requiring 3 days notice, & LIMS is still saying that it was postponed to the next leg meeting.
