• Shutdown Day 30: Faith Leaders Blast MAGA Neglect, GA Power Fight, VA Redistricting, AfroTech 2025

  10.30.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Shutdown Day 30: Faith Leaders Blast MAGA Neglect, GA Power Fight, VA Redistricting Push, AfroTech 2025 LIVE from the 2025 AfroTech Convention in Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center. No prayers were answered this week in D.C.'s halls of power, as we reach day 30 of the Trump-MAGA government shutdown. Democratic and faith leaders are calling out lawmakers for neglecting the nation's most vulnerable populations. Next week, Georgia voters will decide who will fill two Public Service Commission seats that control the state's electricity rates and energy policies. I'll be speaking with Dr. Alicia Johnson about her candidacy for one of those positions. We'll also discuss how Virginia Democrats are proactively addressing the attack on Black congressional districts. The House of Delegates advanced a constitutional amendment on Wednesday that would allow the state to redraw its congressional lines if another state conducts mid-cycle redistricting. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.

  10.27.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Redistricting War Heats Up, Crockett Slams Trump Agenda, Massey Murder Trial, HBCU Prez Fights Back It's a war over US congressional redistricting as more states are redrawing maps. Co-Founder and Executive Director of Black Voters Matter, Cliff Albright, is here to discuss how this will impact the black vote. Louisiana's Republican-led Senate votes to push back election dates, hoping the Supreme Court will rule in its favor to draw a new congressional map that includes one or no majority-Black districts. In tonight's Crocket Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett calls out Trump's immigration agenda for what it is: racist, violent, and lawless. The white Illinois sheriff's deputy who killed Sonya Massey testified in his murder trial today, telling the jury how he feared for his life. We'll talk to civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump, who represents the Massey family, about Sean Grayson's testimony. We'll tell you how the president of HBCU University of Maryland Eastern Shore is fighting back against allegations of plagiarism and racial discrimination. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.
