Listen "Brooke Pinto Talks Free Access to Period Products, Downtown Economic Revival"
Episode Synopsis
In this Hearing the Council interview with Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto, we discuss two key legislative topics she's working to address via legislation. The first is making period products available in all schools (current law) and, in the future (pending bill), all government buildings. The second is revitalizing DC's downtown core via residential conversion and other incentives. Plus: which of her colleagues she'd pick to help her tackle certain odd jobs, and how the pithy quote on a sign that hung on her childhood bedroom wall motivates her work to this day.
