No More Curfew

No More Curfew

Another victory for Black Lives Matter, DC! On Tuesday June 2, 2020, Black Lives Matter, DC filed for an Injunction against Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Peter Newsham for instituting a curfew effective on June 1, 2020 and June 2, 2020 from 7pm to 6am. The curfew led the Metropolitan Police Department, the Secret Service, the National Guard and various other Federal Law Enforcement Agencies to descend upon the District. Those Law Enforcement Agencies committed violent acts against protestors that could be considered felonies and war crimes if carried out in any other context.
