Georgia Runoff with LaTosha Brown

Ms. LaTosha Brown fires up the crowd

The high-stakes Senate runoff in Georgia went to the Democrats - both Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won their special election races, defeating Republican incumbents to flip the Senate.

One of the people we have to thank for this outcome is Ms. LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter. Brown is a world traveller who brings a global perspective to American politics. Host Terrell Starr talks to Brown about what worked for Democrats in Georgia, the foundations of America, and what we have to do to make things right.

Brown also talks about their effort to return 198,000 voters to eligibility after the Secretary of State purged them without cause, and why Democrats and Republicans aren’t talking about the same thing when they say an election was stolen.

Thank you for listening!
