To regain political power, Democrats need to better direct their message at people of color who aren’t voting instead of conservative whites who have stopped listening to them.

That’s the conclusion of San Francisco’s Democracy in Color, which on Monday outlined a road map to victory that involves spending $500 million on field operations — instead of TV commercials — designed to turn out 10 million new progressive voters of color in 17 key states for the next presidential race.
