For this live show from Cambridge, Mass. Maria and Julio discuss 2020 and the POC vote with\\xa0guests IOP Resident Fellow\\xa0LaTosha Brown, award-winning organizer and co-founder of Black Voters Matter Fund, and\\xa0Ren\\xe9e Graham, associate editor and columnist with The Boston Globe. The 2018 midterms were the highest turnout rate for a midterm election in recent history, with voters of color turning out in greater numbers than in 2014, according to a\\xa0Pew Research Center. And in 2020 voters of color will make up a third of all eligible voters, the largest breakdown yet with the Latino community in particular becoming the biggest POC demographic. But this is more than numbers, POC communities are historically underreported in media coverage during election season and often overlooked by candidates. We discuss the POC vote in 2020 and civic engagement among communities color beyond this election cycle.\\xa0
