LA City Council meeting returns in person as calls continue for Kevin de León, Gil Cedillo to resign

After a week of virtual meetings due to COVID-19 exposure, the Los Angeles City Council returned to the chamber Tuesday for the first time in more than a week as it continues to address the fallout from the City Hall racism scandal…

Tuesday’s meting was filled with much of the same from Oct. 12. A handful of protestors chanted in the chamber in an attempt to disrupt the meeting. They have said the council should not procee with business until de León and Cedillo hand in their resignation.

“We have already heard what Kevin thinks about Black people… everybody, his own people, which was not good,” said activist Michelle Hope Walker. “We don’t really need to hear from Kevin. What we need Kevin to do is to resign.”

Despite efforts from protestors and activists, the council continued to move forward with various agenda items.
