ABC's nightly newscast did a 2-minute story on LA's city council president Nury #Martinez resigning from leadership after calling a black child a "little monkey" (in Espanol). NO mention she was a Democrat. She's been an elected Democrat for nine years now. pic.twitter.com/pjn7FGQ3cp

- How many decisions have the 3 LA city council members caught on tape making racist and anti-Black statements made that disfavor Black people? How much city money have they directed away from Black neighborhoods? Racism aint just a noun. It can be weaponized and become an action! Areva Martin, Esq.
- It’s now Tuesday morning. Why haven’t Nury Martinez, Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo resigned from the LA City Council yet? We call out racism when it comes from Republicans. We sure as hell are not going to let Democrats get away with this garbage: – Molly Knight – see LA Times article
- After accountability for LA City council members’ overt racism, how will we address our long history of anti-Black racism? You don’t get 30% of the jail population and 34% of unhoused being Black when only 8% of LA is Black from the actions of three city council members.

Now that ppl are discussing the vile anti-Black racism from LA City Council members like Nury Martinez & others, this suspected anti-Black white hispanic man made this video about me soon before he and his associates allegedly posted a threatening sign about me over an LA freeway pic.twitter.com/9BaiW9awC2

Every member of the LA City Council involved in this racist exchange should resign immediately. Racism has no place in public office and your conduct is disqualifying of the privilege to serve. @CD6Nury @kdeleon @gilcedillo https://t.co/8vbtt4RiJA
