here. i m talking to dr. crutcher, the sister. absolutely. absolutely. and it s definitely a concern. and i m with you. i m going to be at the national action network convention, asking the presidential candidates, is this a priority for you, because we re in a state of emergency right now as it relates to our black men being slaughtered on the streets. and i m so thankful to the legal defense fund who will be in tulsa this week helping us hold the city of tulsa accountable and demanding that certain reforms are implemented within tulsa s police department, who has a history of racially biased policing. so we have a lot of work to do, and, you know we must continue to work. attorney crump, one of the things that in california is the state attorney general is supposed to be looking in. yeah. do you have any confidence in his investigation? the democratic attorney general has been very dogmatic
title of the national action network convention that wraed up yesterd after four amazing days in new york. when everything from voting rights and police accountability to health care, worker s rights and a woman s right to choose are under attack. we dwatherrgathered the best an brightest to ensure that we continue to move forward. especially now under a new administration that s trying to turn the clock back on civil rights advances. a key nobility at the convention was former attorney general erik holder. i sat down with him after his address. thanks again for doing this. you spoke this week at the convention very passionately about voting. about the schemes to undermine

always a pleasure. let me ask you, miss carr, what do you expect secretary clinton to do about policing and crime in america if she wins? i think she ll step up to the plate because she has promised us this. we were in a meeting with her in chicago last september, and she came in there, she took notes, she asked us what can she do for us. and if she was to become president, what would we like for her to do. i think she came in there as a politician, she left with a little bit of all of the mothers. we need someone like her, she is a qualified individual. and i think right now she s the only qualified individual that is on the ballot. i know when she spoke at several forums including national action network convention, she had she came to us, she gave specifics, would
