It asks for the banning of knee and choke holds by the police, as well as the use of tear gas and rubber bullets. The Youth Council also asked for the Town Council to revise or repeal part of the municipal code which banned loitering in public places"in such a manner as to create or cause to be created any disturbance or annoyance to the comfort and repose of any person."
For the Youth Caucus, this is a huge win."This has shown us that collectively, we have the power to not only demand change, but to obtain it," Anya said."It has shown us that we have the power to change the societal metric of this nation and mobilize toward real victories." The Caucus has many other issues they want to tackle in the future, including gaining progressive change in the LGBTQ, environmental, and immigration movements, just to name a few. The Caucus itself is only about a month old, but they have already proven that they can enact change if they put their mind to it.
