It's Monday, December 2021, and here's what's coming Up on Roland Martin Unfiltered streaming live on the Black Star Network.

The Omicron variant is spreading faster and causing more breakthrough cases. D.C. is re-instated mask and vaccination mandates. Tonight, we're talking all things Covid with two doctors to give you the information you need to stay safe and healthy.

The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is facing more discrimination lawsuits. This is the third in the last four months where two Black women allege retaliation for speaking out against racism and misconduct by White officers. There are here with their attorney.

The fate of the former Minnesota officer who killed Daunte Wright is in the hands of the jury. We'll take a look at closing arguments as we remain on verdict watch.

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin says he's not voting for Biden's Build Back Better Act, and there are reports that Manchin told colleagues he believed parents would use child tax credits to buy drugs, and people would abuse paid leave to go hunting.  

Just as we are waiting for voting reform laws, thousands are waiting on the Equal Act. The legislation addresses how Black and brown people received harsher sentences due to the differences between crack and powder cocaine offenses. You'll meet one man who served a mandatory minimum and hear what he's doing to make a difference.

The Grandmother of Juneteenth was honored over the weekend.

And it's that time of year where we all start to think about those New Years Resolutions. We'll have a fitness expert tell us how to make attainable and sustainable goals in the new year.
