Earlier this month, a recording of a Los Angeles City Council meeting was published by the LA Times. In it, three City Council members and the president of a labor union, are heard using racist and homophobic terms to describe constituents and fellow city council members. The recordings caused a national uproar, resulting in the resignation of Nury Martinez, LA City Council president and Ron Herrera, LA County Federation of Labor president. Discuss the anti-black, indigenous and the LGBTQ+ comments made by Nury Martinez for CARE.

How do we talk about and address anti Blackness and anti-Indigeneity as Black Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC)? How do we acknowledge the harms and current reality to move forward in solidarity? To understand the issues and grapple with these questions, we have invited a group of panelists to discuss.

Panel:
1. Alina Luna
2. DDm
3. Miguel Ruelas
4. Jolene Jones

Moderator: Allison Cardona
