Summary
10.16.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Our Voices, Our Vote: Virginia Town Hall on Power, Policy & the Fight for Voting Rights
We are on the campus of Virginia State in Petersburg for a special edition of Roland Martin Unfiltered "Our Voices, Our Vote" Town Hall, powered by Virginia House Democrats and the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus.
Tonight, we'll be discussing the importance of voting, mainly because we are on the verge of the Supreme Court potentially gutting the Voting Rights Act.
We have Democratic candidates who are vying for and defending their seats in the upcoming November elections.
The tenth Senate failed to pass the bill to reopen the government. Democratic leaders claim they are acting in the best interest of the American people. New York Representative Yvette Clarke, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, will join us.
And we'll talk to the president of Virginia State University.
