On this week’s episode of The Brief, hosts Markos Moulitsas and Kerry Eleveld continued to to analyze 2020’s election outcomes and parse the specific lessons we can learn from organizers of color who helped create historic turnout among their communities—lessons of special importance as Democrats work to help Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock win the Georgia Senate runoff races in January.
