Today on Indigenous Peoples Day we call on non-Black and non-Indigenous Latinos/es to commit to actively dismantling deep rooted colonial legacies of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism and oppression. We call for all non-Black and non-Indigenous Latino/e policymakers to end complicity in upholding white supremacy and inciting hatred towards Black and Indigenous communities. It is time for Latino/e policymakers to be held accountable, take responsibility, and to actively work to dismantle systems of oppression. As a Latina/e led Reproductive Justice organization based in Los Angeles we are enraged and disgusted by the racist conversation between Los Angeles Latino City Council members Nury Martínez, Gil Cedillo, Kevin de León and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. Their words clearly show their anti-Indigeneous and anti-Black racism and disdain for working class and poor people. As a Latina/e led Reproductive Justice organization based in Los Angeles we call for the immediate resignation of all the aforementioned Latino leaders. This is not the kind of leadership our city nor our communities want, need, or deserve. As a Reproductive Justice organization committed to centering the experiences of those most impacted by structural oppression, we re-commit to addressing, centering, and fighting anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism in our communities and to reckon with our own complicity in the continued harm and erasure of Black and Indigenous communities. We must do better. See link in our bio for full statement on “LA CITY COUNCIL: ANTI-BLACK & ANTI-INDIGENOUS RACISM IN THE LATINO/E COMMUNITY” #ReproJustice #ThisIsRJ #indigenouspeoplesday
