ABOUT:

On October 9, 2022, an audio recording of a conversation involving then Los Angeles City Council President, Nury Martinez, fellow council members Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera regarding redistricting was leaked anonymously onto Reddit. In the meeting, Martinez stated, "F*ck that guy ... He's with the Blacks", referring to District Attorney George Gascón.

Martinez also insulted fellow council member Mike Bonin's Black adopted child, saying "This kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner, I’ll bring him right back." Martinez also called the child a "changuito" according to the Los Angeles Times, a racial slur for a black person meaning "little monkey" or "little ape" in Spanish.

On October 10, Martinez stepped down as president through a released statement that apologized to Bonin and others.
