Finding Common PurposeAuthor: Andrew Wolk
Finding Common Purpose (findingcommonpurpose.org) examines why it has become more difficult for most people in the United States to get by, much less prosper. In candid conversations with government, business, nonprofit and foundation leaders, the podcast explores how a new social contract between institutions and the people they serve can get millions more Americans on a pathway to lifelong success -- from healthy birth to quality education, to finding and keeping a good-paying job, and to healthy and sustainable aging.

“You’re Either with Me or Against Me”
Episode 2
Friday, 10 July, 2020
There’s no neutrality when it comes to systemic racism in the workplace, according to David Delmar Sentíes -- you have to pick a side. David leads Resilient Coders, a coding boot camp for young people of color that, like other training programs across the country, helps graduates access well-paying jobs in the (still) white-dominated tech industry. He provides insights for companies with the best hiring intentions and challenges them to push beyond PR-driven “diversity initiatives” to fundamentally question practices that prevent so many people of color from getting a foot in the door -- such as why corporations require a college degree for jobs David has first-hand evidence highly-trained high school graduates can do. This episode continues David’s conversation with Andrew Wolk that started in Taking the Protests to the Office. You can read about this interview, including David’s explanations of how Whiteness opens doors to opportunity, at the Finding Common Purpose blog.
