 At a time when communities of color, including Black, Latine, Indigenous, LGBTQ+ and Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities are under attack, the Korean American Democratic Committee (KADC), the Asian Democrats of Los Angeles County (ADLAC), and the Pilipino American Los Angeles Democrats (PALAD) affirm there is no excuse for the hate speech used by elected City Council leaders in recently revealed audio recordings. Racism, anti-Blackness, Indigenous erasure, and homophobia must be uprooted from all levels of government. Furthermore, we strongly condemn attacks specifically targeting Asian communities and Asian community leaders.
