If you’ve been listening to these episodes in order, you’re probably noticing a theme. All of our speakers have had one connecting thread, poverty. Specifically, the systems that create it and keep people locked into it. 

Alfredo Cruz talks to us about issues surrounding housing. During our talk he really cuts to the heart of it all by saying that poverty is something that should concern us all. It’s not an us vs them because we’re all “them.” 

Lifting people up while breaking down the societal walls that keep people in poverty is our mission here at the Walls Project. It’s why we started our program called Futures Fund. Earlier this season we talked to Nina Tran, an instructor for the Coding Boot Camp, which is the side of the program for adults. In this episode I talk to Dexter Jackson, who runs the side of the program for teens
