Should we apologize to essential workers? Final episodes of DCF podcast answer this question (and more)

This week, the Delaware Community Foundation (DCF) podcast How to (Not) Kill Your Community releases its final two episodes as part of a four-part series exploring how to build and sustain communities for the long-haul.

In episode eight (above), Jamar Rahming, executive director of the Wilmington Public Library, and Jill DiPaolo, director of the Lewes Public Library, discuss the vital role libraries play as pillars of democracy. They serve as safe havens — offering refuge, connection, and dignity in our increasingly polarized world.

Episode nine (below) features Eric Klinenberg, author of 2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed. Klinenberg reflects on how the pandemic shook communities’ faith and reliance on social infrastructure, and how it can be rebuilt.

The first season of How to (Not) Kill Your Community is available in its totality on YouTube.
