Last week, Mayor Lovely Warren banned public gatherings of five or more people between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. in the City of Rochester. The move, made in coordination with RPD, is aimed at curbing recent violence. Protesters took to the streets Wednesday night; organizers say the curfew is anti-Black and discriminatory.
This hour, our guests debate the curfew and discuss their ideas for how to address violence in Rochester. Our guests:
- Stanley Martin, co-leader of Free the People Roc
- Iman Abid, director of the Genesee Valley chapter of the ACLU
- Reverend Lewis Stewart, president of United Christian Leadership Ministry
- Kerry Coleman, chair of community police relations of United Christian Leadership Ministry
