“You’re Either with Me or Against Me”
<p>There’s no neutrality when it comes to systemic racism in the workplace, according to David Delmar Sentíes -- you <u>have</u> to pick a side. David leads <a href="http://www.resilientcoders.org/"><u>Resilient Coders</u></a>, 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 <a href="https://anchor.fm/rootcauseorg/episodes/Taking-the-Protests-to-the-Office-eg0cfh"><u>Taking the Protests to the Office</u></a>.

Taking the Protests to the Office
<p><br></p> <p>The brutal killing of George Floyd shed a searing light on the dangers and indignities that many people of color, especially Black people, face every single day -- on the streets, and in every facet of American life. David Delmar Sentíes of <a href="http://www.resilientcoders.org/"><u>Resilient Coders</u></a> has been working for years to dismantle one particularly insidious racial injustice -- the systemic bias preventing so many low-income people of color from accessing the kinds of high-growth careers that can change lives and entire communities. In this frank conversation with Andrew Wolk, David challenges anti-racism allies to stop just tweeting #BlackLivesMatter and start hiring Black people in good-paying jobs.</p> <p>Read more about David's perspective on how <a href="https://andrewwolk.com/whiteness-opens-doors-a-discussion-with-david-delmar-senties-part-ii/"><u>Whiteness opens doors</u></a> to opportunity and how <a href="https://andrewwolk.com/do-classism-and-racism-keep-people-from-being-hired-a-discussion-with-david-delmar-senties/"><u>classism and racism</u></a> keep many workers of color out of tech jobs at the Finding Common Purpose <a href="https://andrewwolk.com/"><u>blog</u></a>.</p>

Not Doing For, But Doing With
<p>When the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the United States, Susannah Morgan, CEO of the Oregon Food Bank, was as scared as she’s ever been. She didn’t know if her vast food assistance network would be able to meet the region’s sudden and massive increase in need. Susannah talks about how her organization adapts to tackle food insecurity, and how her shift in mindset from “doing for” to “doing with” is a better path to her work.
