Today, I testified at a Youth Hearing, before the
Council of the District of Columbia
Committee of the Whole.
Larry T. Pretlow II
I presented the 'Youth Advisory Council Reform' before
Charmain Gray and Councilmember Harry Tommy Thomas, Jr
My overall position is that:
DCYAC Members are not allowed to speak their minds,
while they are intended to represent youth. (01h:44m:23s)
Councilmember Harry Tommy Thomas, Jr responded:
"I appreciate what you said. I hope people listening and watching understand what you said, how disingenuous it is to have a youth branch of government that cannot speak their minds. That's just the most disingenuous thing." (02h:12m:27s)
NYRA-DC Member Usiel Pheonix talks NO CURFEW!
Ward 5 Councilmember Harry Tommy Thomas, Jr expressed his support.
