Dear Friends, we have an exciting NBC, Telemundo, and MSNBC exclusive streaming agreement for our Forum. You'll be able to access the livestream Wednesday April 24th, right before the show starts at 1 PM CT, so stay tuned to our social media where we'll announce the link for you to tune in! #ShethePeople2020

This year’s packed schedule of Democratic presidential town halls and debates will feature something different: a forum specifically designed to make candidates answer to women of color.

On April 24, much of the 2020 Democratic field will convene in Houston for a forum convened by She the People, a political organization founded to help center women of color in the political process. Democratic candidates who have officially declared were invited to attend, and Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.), Kamala D. Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), former Housing secretary Julián Castro (Tex.), Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii), and former congressman Beto O’Rourke (Tex.) will participate. It will take place at Texas Southern University, a public, historically black university.

Whatever the case, it's really unfortunate for him because even he admits that one of his biggest weakness is that he hasn't been able to connect with people of color. And honestly, the support of women of color is incredibly important because they are one of, if not the number one most reliable voting block who support Democrats.

So it's really up to him to take full advantage of the media opportunities he has been given.
