Update: The vote didn’t move forward. Councilmember Brooke Pinto’s youth curfew proposal was tabled 8–5 after Phil Mendelson proposed postponing the vote. The law is still set to sunset on April 15. They did not succeed in making it permanent. This is a temporary win. Now we make sure it ends.

We appreciate you covering this but this is a misrepresentation of the conversation between HWD & CM Henderson, for whom we have deep respect. What you’re describing as a “heated debate” was a direct conversation about policy. Black women speaking with clarity and conviction is not aggression.

A curfew update: Ward 5 CM Zachary Parker says he does NOT think the extension has the votes to pass, so it’ll be pulled from the agenda. Something similar happened last fall and it ultimately passed. Henderson also got into a heated debate with @harrietsdreams.bsky.social on this.
