ep. Raúl M. Grijalva released the following statement:
“It is not enough for former LA City Council President Nury Martinez to step down from her leadership role, take a leave of absence and issue an apology. She must immediately resign from the council altogether. Councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León should be held equally accountable for their enabling of racist, homophobic language and their silence thereafter.
“People deserve better from their elected representatives. As public officials, we take a pledge to represent and advocate for all our constituents and it is quite clear that Councilmembers Martinez, Cedillo and de León are no longer able to fulfill that responsibility.”
