Matter of Fact with Soledad O'Brien

JUNE 26, 2021 (5x41)

Air date: Jun 26, 2021

This week, we’re looking at discrimination against the LGBTQ community, especially those who are also people of color. Prejudice often hurts them more than their white peers, from their financial situation to their mental health. We talk to the National LGBTQ Task Force about setting up protections for the LGBTQ community. Plus, 11 percent of Washington, DC is considered to be a food desert. We walk through an urban farm that’s growing fresh produce for the community. And Soledad talks to Atlantic staff writer Annie Lowrey to talk about guaranteed income – also known as universal basic income.
