Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien

APRIL 17, 2021 (5x31)

Air date: Apr 17, 2021

This week on Matter of Fact, we take on the tug-of-war over voting rights. Last week, more than 100 business leaders got on a Zoom call to talk about what those proposals could lead to and how they could add their voice to the conversation. CEO of the Leadership Now Project Daniella Ballou-Aares tells us what they plan to do next. Plus, Soledad talks to investigative reporter Judd Legum about his take on the corporate involvement in the voting rights debate. Then, Native American women and girls are disappearing across the country. We talk to the families of victims who say they are outraged, but law enforcement isn’t doing enough. And, Maryland is taking a step toward police reform, starting with the repeal of their Law Enforcement Bill of Rights. Soledad talks to Dr. Rashawn Ray about how Maryland’s landmark reforms could increase transparency and accountability in policing.
